My soil test came in with a 20 % organic matter percentage.

Should I be adding any manure or compost this fall, or just go with granular fertilizers to boost my potassium and phosphorous levels? Is ther anything that I would be lacking without the addition of manure or compost?

I wouldnt add any more compost or manure. High organic matter can create a perfect enviroment for disease.
20% is plenty.
Email us the results, we will be happy to read the test and make recommendations to balance your soil.

Listen to Tom. He, along with others, helped me go from a personal best of 581 lbs to 912 lbs in 1 year.
