It's amazing when you start testing soil/compost/etc. how much garbage is actually out there. Compost can cause some serious problems. The more I see people test the more I wonder why others don't.@Caregiver
I have to know what's in my soil. I want to get as close to ideal as possible and it also saves money in the long run. I think there are many growers who are adding unnecessary amendments if they don't know whats already in their mix. On the flip side there are many pre bagged soils or bulk mixes that are overloaded. I think you might have seen in the GG4 thread but TGA Supersoil is a prime example of an overloaded mix:
So many growers are paying a premium for bad soil.
I remember the Odyssey!
In those 6-pack 4" cubes... Being passed around in a nursery flat in a dark room with a bench... and that damn Trapper Keeper(R)...
Hello.As I see you amend the soil yourself, I tought this coul be interesting:

I don´t know to what extent Works but I think is worth to give a try. I have seen shamrock in farms around, patches of soil let to rest for a while..
He didn't work for Blue Sky's nursery at one time, did he? That's how their nursery did it, 4" rockwool cubes poked with 6 cuts.Funny, the guy I got it from cut clones like that. Trapper keeper? I don't follow.
Dang...compost rearing it's ugly head again in regards to K levels. A local friend doing the same thing with foliars to make up for things.The Potassium levels are way higher than I intended and it it certainly due to the addition of compost.
The other thing I'll be doing religiously this season is foliar Calcium and Magnesium.
