Stephen, I'm trying to understand why you are reaching out to this narrow body of fruit zealots scattered all over the country to solve a soil issue.  Yes, we're all experienced growers, but if I had a soil issue I'd want to enlist the help of people with extensive experience with the soil in my area.  You live in an area with a very prominent agricultural industry and are next to a univeresity with an army of highly trained agronomists.  They do a lot of work on the taxpayers dime and this time of year they probably have some extra time on their hands.   Have you even tried calling over their?
