Help decifer pond soil test results - 03/04/10 03:01 PM
I got the results from my soil sample in my pond ( old pond, don't know how old) They gave me a recomended lime application of 2.1 tons/acre thats fine.
But I was hoping someone could help me interpret the other results and tell me if they are good or bad.
HM% (Humic matter?) 1.08
W/V ( weight to volume) 0.82
CEC ( cation exchange capicity) 10.4
BS% ( base saturation) 78%
Ac ? 2.3
pH 5.3
P-1 (phosphours) 49
K-1 (potassium) 51
Ca % (calcium) 62%
Mg (magnessium) 13%
Mn-1 201
Zn-1 254
Zn-Al 254
Cu-I 108
S-I 336
Na 0.6
Sorry about the long post but to me other tan the pH they are just numbers hoping to get some opinions from those who know what they mean
