Re: Ryan's Soil Test 2020

Okay I have been searching for POS locally, but haven’t had too much luck. I did find this place which is about 2 hours away. The price of the POS, and urea is cheap. Just want to make sure this is the correct product. I also noticed they have gypsum. Is this the correct gypsum and if so what rate w...

Re: Ryan's Soil Test 2020

Awesome news on the soil. I was defiantly jealous of my previous neighbor and his good soil. I can order gypsum from Lowe’s since they have free delivery over a certain $. Menards also has gypsum, is that okay to use? Milorganite isn’t that expensive at menards. Last time I bought from menards it wa...

Ryan's Soil Test 2020

Hello, this is my 2nd time posting a soil sample on this site and the 1st time work very well. Since my last soil test, we have moved to a new property and need a new maintenance plan for the soil. Thank you for the help in the past and can't wait to get started on the new soil/lawn. Last year we bu...

Re: Ryan Free117 soil test-2017

TimmyG thanks for the link. I just purchased 6 bags for $74 shipped. Not a bad deal.

I guess the only other question I have at this point is about the fall nitrogen regime. If I put 30-0-3 down a week ago, I should do the standard and put urea down after top growth stops. Is this correct?

Re: Ryan Free117 soil test-2017

So I have been searching for specific calcitic lime when it is just your ordinary pellitized lime? If that is the case it is super cheap.

Re: Ryan Free117 soil test-2017

I am going to put it down, but compared to regular lime it is spendy. It is about $1 a pound. So $10 a k. I have a 18000k yard. So $180 is spendy to me, but if that is what it needs that's what it will get.

Re: Ryan Free117 soil test-2017

From reading the site a little I do see that it takes years to increase OM even a little. I will get as many leaves as I can down on the lawn. I will also find some calcitic lime to put down before winter. From what I looked at it seems fairly spendy! I have been doing some reading on the fall nitro...

Re: Ryan Free117 soil test-2017

I will get some leaves and mulch them before winter. I just put down 30-0-3 fertilizer. I live in central Wisconsin so we have until early October for the growing season. I was thinking of throwing more gypsum down but will do calcitic lime. I also have an aeration set up for the end of this month o...

Ryan Free117 soil test-2017

Grass from what I can tell is a northern blend ( mostly fescue and some KGB), but I have been over seeding with more KBG. I have full sun in the back and in the front. Lot size is approximately 20,000 sq ft. I have irrigation system, but it seems like I struggle to keep up watering in the summer. Ea...
