I am going to try and contact the Master Gardener they list tomorrow when he is supposed to be in the office.
I visited with the Harrison County Extension Agent this morning and he went over my soil sample results with me. He said it was not bad except I needed to apply about 40 lbs. of Lime to bring the soil pH up to a 6 to 6.5 level. The Soil Lab’s recommendation was to also add .75 lb of a 16-6-12 Fert per 100 sq ft. He said I may have difficulty finding that exact fert proportions and should look for and use a 15-5-10 (same proportions of NPK). He was right every feed store and garden center had the 15-5-10. Seems to be a popular turf fert around these parts. He said I need to till the lime and the fert into the garden as soon as possible. I will start that tomorrow. that is all the amendments I need to add. I did bring four large bags of my old compost with me when we moved and will also add that in.

That recommendation of 40 lbs of lime sure does seem like a lot for a 600 sq. ft. garden area. Especially this close in attempting to plant the gardening. I think I may just try about 20 lbs and add the rest in the fall.
