Tissue test results back last week. About normal for our patch, Sulfur, and manganese have always given us a bit of trouble along with Magnesium and Boron to a lessor extent. Even giving each plant 14 ounces per week of Epson Salts we are still short on Sulfur and "just" barely sufficient on Magnesium (in my opinion not the labs) Each plant is also receiving 2 ounces per week of Borax to help with Boron, in most patches that would be a toxic amount. In our sandy loam soil we can’t supply enough at times. Also getting lots of emails about 20 day measurements, we have never been concerned with daily measurements or day 20, 30 ect. Last years 2230 was measured on day 20 (because it was a Sunday and that's the day we measure) it was under 160 total inches on day 20. We will measure this Sunday for the first time this year. Been getting many thunderstorms, and have received over 2 inches of rain in last week. Moisture meter is reading 68%, 45-50 is what we shoot for.
