71GTO 2018 soil test
I have my 2018 soil test. I also linked to last years topic. I followed the recommendations as best I could for the season. Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: 71GTO 2018 soil test
Ummmmmm, great work! You may not be able to see the change because of the depth adjustment, but I see it and it's significant...
The Front is showing a moderately sandy soil that is rising in pH due to the Lime applications. We're done for this year on the Lime (we may be back). We'll stay with the 10-10-10 all year as the Potassium has a little way to go and the Phosphorus has a longer way to go.
Three of the micro's could use work. Up for that this year?
In the Back, there is good progress, but there was farther to go when we started. Keep up the Lime treatments every 90 days and the 10-10-10 monthly.
There are also micro shortages here - is this a 2018 thing?
Overall, great progress - keep it up!

Thanks Andy, just to refresh too. I messed up filling out last years form and it was in the 3-4 inch zone as well. I’m down for doing what I need to do to get things up to snuff. I made good visual progress last year. Renovating the back yard and redoing landscaping is on the agenda this year, so adding in a few more apps won’t deter me. Thank you for all the help and advice!

Hi Andy, just want to check. I’m assuming I still need to mix Epsom salt with the lime for the back yard?
