Dan O.,
Just got back my soil sample results from Miss. State. The testor I purchased gave me a reading of 6.8 on PH. The fertility test was on the low side.
The soil sample, taken from the soil I used with the meter came back on the test as, Ph, 8.0. P-44 (Med.), K-246 (High), Magnesium, high, and Zinc, medium. They recommend only 30 lbs. per acre of P205 for the nest 3 years. They also recommended 1-1.5 pounds per acre of Boron. (If this one of the trace elements that helps plants use the Nitrogen?) The testor may not be totally accurate, but it will give me a broad picture even if it reads low. I almost couldn' t believe that it did not recommend either Nitrogen or Lime. The Clover is still holding strong through some very hot, dry weather. (But so are the grass/weeds.) What do you think?
