HoosierDaddy 2024 Soil Test
I have my 2024 Logan results, with Ammonium Acetate as per recommendation. 2022 and 2023 tests linked below.
Renos are long past: 3500 SqFt. back in Fall 2016, 1500sqFt front Fall 2017. Summer Patch is under control now and I do not have any real areas of concern at the moment. I will continue Companion regimen and Heritage as needed for the Summer Patch, Serenade for other fungal preventative, and maintain on everything else.
My goals this year are to maintain both the back and front, with OM applications (cracked corn and pine pellets) as frequently as budget and time allow. Micros are in play and I have everything ready to go for them (or will source in short order). I am again interested in Humic applications. I am not sure if there has been any verdict on the Humic for calcitic soils like mine, but now 4 years of apps for me and I think they are helping. Thanks in advance!

Re: HoosierDaddy 2024 Soil Test
Carbon copy 2023. You're actually in excellent shape for 2024, although I think the one small recommendation I might make is to use a balanced fertilizer in May and September. Your potassium levels are maybe just a wee bit low for a very high pH, and phosphorus isn't particularly available at that pH either and just sliding down a little bit off the 500 PPM high (which is very high, but again, really bound at that pH).
And of course, always use a urea-based nitrogen source, or other acidifying fertilizer. It's not a major boost, but I'll take what I can get, even if it's a momentary flash in the pan.

Thanks, I have definitely not used a balanced fert before so I will look into those. Usually Milo in the Spring, Urea or AS in the fall.
