Received soil results this mornings. Patch is low in boron, magnesium, sulfer and zinc. All else is well in this sandy loam patch.

What would you do and where would you buy it?!

sul-po-mag ...and a little bit of 20 mule team borax..

Your question is kind of lacking alot of details. Size of Area, current amounts listed on test. Big one is what is your current P.H.

Thanks Dave, Shannon. 1300 sq ft, PH 6.7
Current amounts were listed only as low, adequate, high.

Recommendations as far as amounts have been given but need help finding fertilizer that will address these minor elements....

ironite has most of the micros in it you are looking for, including sulfer, it is iron sulfate. Not sure how low you are but it would add to the patch. Jimmy

Twenty pounds of Ironite or Azomite by Fretrell. This would be a moderate to light application. Then I would let it alone. Granular Ironite not their liquids.

Even if you should not do this I doubt you have any significant problems.
