Only recommendation on N P K for flower and veg rooting soil was 50 on N...... (I guess that is for 50 lb per 1000 sq feet, need to check on this) .

My garden soil was tested also and its reccommendation was 20 lbs of 5/10/5 per 1000 sq ft. It is about 40% compost mix and 50% clay soil and 10% fine river sand. Ph on it was 6.8. It tills good and grows super but this is the first time I had it tested....

Soil test is free in NC.....

I still do not know where the perfect parameters are.... this is just 4 to 7 year old leaf compost ground back to black dirt for me.

Comments are welcomed as I can learn from specifics in this report that are good or bad.
