First of all I really hope that you can read our second soil sample. You will need to scroll back to our first one to get where we’re coming from. Even though our first sample showed too much nitrogen we have put 3 X 16oz of calcium nitrate through the drip lines. We need to get planted into our heads how easy it is to wash nitrogen through the soil by drip lines or rain. To be honest soil samples just confirm what we can see in the plants habits which is just down to experience We have added 15ml per patch of molybdenum though the drip lines with no change but we will keep gently spoon feeding it until it’s in the guide lines. The boron is fine but in the coming weeks we we probably add a little more. The 1.8 to 2ppm recommended by labs no where near enough.
