I have attached the results of a recent soil test. Ignore Sample 1. Sample 2 is a very sandy field that was planted in clover in fall 2015. It hasn't exactly thrived but it's ok. It has taken quite a bit of lime to get the pH to the current 6.6. I would like to plant it in a rye/brassica mix this fall by throw and mow, setting the clover back by either gly or scalping.
A friend with soils experience has recommended the following (per acre):
500# MAP
1000# Gypsum
4# Copper Sulfate
40# Zinc Sulfate
15# Mule Team Borax
One question I have is that Phosphorus was described as "Excessive" (55ppm) last year in a soil test and still seems high to me here- 60 ppm by my calculations. He says it's not available and I need more. He also says to quit with 0-0-60 for now, although K still looks low to me.
Am I missing something- I know this can get complicated.
