I found this link to be very helpful in understanding what things mean in a soil test...

Got it Dale.

B1 50 lbs Hi-cal Lime (I know, the lab said zero) per 1000.

F1 (Yikes!) 150 lbs Hi-Cal Lime per 1000.
Can you get some aged manure for F1? That or we need a nice micronutrient package. I'll email you a label of a material that would help.

The lab also recommended 2-3 lbs of N per season for each patch. I can see a single pound early & a half to three quarters as the vines run but I don't advocate this much N as the lab did.

Tremor, Was there a typo or an I just confused?

B2 50 lbs Hi-cal
F1 150 lbs Hi-cal
