Doreen,
 
It seems like you were able to get more specific information out of the appl. than I.  For instance, the soil map for my area didn't mention anything about individual minerals like Calcium Carbonate.  It profiled this area as Chillicothe loam, high water table, slope around 4%, elevation 800-1000, etc, but never indicated the specific makeup of the soil.  I'm wondering if I'm using the map to it's full functionality.
 
I typed in my address and then drew a box around our property, then clicked on soil map.  Did I miss something?

Many thanks to Eddie Earle for the USDA website where one can get a custom soil report.  What a killer app!  Way cool.
 
I'm going to share it with my readers, as I do a monthly column in two magazines.
 
I learned, actually verified my deductions, that I live on the Griswold glacier moraine, have sandy loam that drains well, have an 8 percent grade and 40 percent calcium carbonate.  I knew I had lime, but didn't realize it was that much.  That explains some of the fruit blossom problems I've been having with Montrose apricot.
 
Bob Purvis and I were talking about how to get my tree to bear fruit a couple of nights ago, and he mentioned a lack of boron.  I'm thinking the lime is tying up the boron, making it unavailable.  I may be wrong, though, as I stayed at a Holiday Inn six months ago and am not an agronomist.
 
Again, Eddie Earle, a big thanks!
Doreen Howard
