Y'know Brian, every year when I see your test, it amazes me that a TEC as low as your's is possible at the OM level that gets reported. It just makes no sense.

The numbers have changed a bit (good), but the plan is across the board still and if you've got the 19-19-19 and the calcitic/epsom, I'd recommend staying with the whole plan -- it's working albeit slowly.

Is there anything you want to ask about or change? Is the lawn at least looking OK?

Thanks, Andy,

I'll keep the same regimen in place.

Nothing of real concern at this point. I think the lawn is in "fair" shape for the amount of time I'm able to dedicate to it. I know I can always do more and get it better, but time is usually not on my side.
