Luers tomato is next up.

Will try to get the nutrient issue sorted out. Its difficult. I have done soil and tissue tests in the past. But they do not tell you exactly what is wrong, they only help to improve your guessing.

Its always a guess, the best I can hope for is that its a well-educated guess. The high sodium is a pain. For example, I should have high potassium but it seems like the sodium can block the potassium, and zinc and copper and boron whenever it wants but also high phosphorus and nitrogen messin things up because of the chicken manure finally breaking down. But if I figure it out, then watch out!
