It's soil testing season, if you didn't pull samples in the fall, now is a great time to get analysis ahead of the spring.

We collected ours yesterday and posted them in the mail today; sending samples to both Logan Labs (https://www.loganlabs.com/) and our local soil lab at UMass Amherst.

Thoughts on testing below.

Growing veggies for the fine folks of Southeastern Massachusetts, w/ a focus on nutrient quality. Always interested in the evolution of digital payments.  🎩 

That’s smart to submit to multiple places to get them to check the work. Do you calculate your own mineral application rates or work with someone for mineral recommendations? It’s cool you have years of tests have you increased your OM?

I do all my own fertility recommendations as I've been working with these labs since 2008 and also spent many years working as a consulant.

The logan labs test is a mehlich 3 analysis which gives wildly high P numbers so we also use UMass (modified morgan) to get a better sense of available P. 

State labs have algos.

private labs have consultants, both can be useful.

we haven't really been focusing on OM, ours have built a bit over the years, but not heaps, as we don't add tons of residue or compost.
