Soil tests

Well I took a front, middle (heavy Napanee Clay) and back (shallow) soil test in to TCO agromart in Napanee . They were super helpful and sent of the samples for me to A&L Canada Laboratories Inc. in London Ontario. I requested the S1B s7 package - for micro-nutrients as well. I eagerly waited the week out to see what the results would be. This was important test for me as it would establish the baseline and allow me to track the effectiveness of various approaches to soil health. 

 

It looks like PH is a bit high, I would like an average closer to 6.5 and perhaps some sulfur will help that. Phosphorus is also a bit low and some of the micro-nutrients could be bumped up. 

What is going to be a large focus for me is the Organic matter. I would like to see those numbers all edge higher. Overall it looks pretty good!
