Sent out my soil samples, priority mail, on Feb 29 and the results were in the mail today. PH is high, but phosphorus and potassium are above optimum so not sure how I should fertilize for tomatoes and veggies, I had planned on using plant-tone and tomato-tone. These are raised beds, 3 years old, I garden organically.

Ph 6.6

Calcium > 4000 lbs per acre

Magnesium> 500 lbs per acre

Phosphorus> 100 lbs per acre

Potassium > 600 lbs per acre

Boron .80 range s/b .1-2.0

Iron 2.80 range s/b 1.0-4.0

Manganese 5.8 range s/b .1-20

Zinc 2.6 range s/b .1-70

Aluminum 20 range s/b 10-300

They recommend 2 lbs Nitrogen per 1000 sq ft with a side dressing of 3 lbs of 10-6-4. Organic content is high and they recommend no compost or wood ashes for "some time".

Please forgive any typos, on my phone, without my glasses.

Thanks in advance for any responses!!!
