Hi Andy,

Can you review my soil test and let me know what application rate of The Andersons Humic DG would be recommended?

I use the "medium rate" (2 lbs/K) at the beginning of the season, and again just before the heat stress (the end of June) - so 4 lbs/K a year. That seems like a good rate for you, too.

The product is available in two sizes - 11 lbs and 40 lbs. Try to get it locally if you can as shipping costs will be high for a 40 lb size. My local source is closed due to COVID-19, so I went to be favorite online source: 7 Springs Farm. Good price, but shipping added $23. Still better than most other online sites. Be careful when ordering online - many vendors are charging high prices for the 11 lb size. No relationship with 7 Springs here, but I like good price and supporting Community Supported Agriculture.

The prills break down with water from irrigation/rain, but there is no harm in not irrigating right away.

Awesome! Thank you Andy! I found one distributor nearby from their web site so I’ll see if they’re still open.
