Still learning on switching lbs/acre to ppm but that looks good, and Steve would certainly know.

10/1 ca/mg...?I'm ok with and I think 7.2 is right at the edge of going to high..7.3 will start tying up some nutrients so your on the fine line now..I'd back off any thoughts of lime..No expert here but if I'm off base on my thoughts please feel free to correct me..This is where I learn and helpful entries are always appreciated.

If you sent that soil to ten labs the range would likely be from 6.5 - 7.5 PH....maybe even greater. Tests are only a guideline. I would however watch that lime as suggested.

John you are ready to grow at least a fifty pound fruit. :) Go for it and may it be a dandy.

Jack LaRue grew a 1400 pounder in 7.4. Grow on.

PPM times 2 equals pounds per acre to plough depth (9 inches) times 2.7 per acre foot (12 inches).

Good labs are always right. It is us who pull poor samples.

I think it was more like 7.8 Steve. Kinda makes me wonder what was available/not available at that high a pH. Whatever happened, it sure was an amazing accomplishment!
