Hi Jay, Very interesting. I’m in the opposite
situation in most respects, since a lot of my land was only cut for hay,
without much returned to the soil. One suggestion I would make, though, would
be doing some plant tissue analyses – this will tell you exactly which
nutrients in your soil your plants are able to utilize. You may be applying
fertilizer needlessly, or compounding an existing imbalance, by applying more
N, P, and K. High levels of P and K will tie up other minerals, depending on
the ratios and your pH. Building organic matter and stimulating microbial
activity in your soil will help lower your pH, too. Cheers, Rob Rob Wallbridge Songberry Organic Farm 24 Sixth Line, facebook: "Songberry Organic
