Good day daylilydude. Forget about the raised beds. I would package that stuff up into 1 pound bags and sell it to the locals as Magical Miracle Plant Elixir, or some such.

Seriously, pH is on the high side. You may need to do some experimenting to see what does and doesn't grow. My guess is corn will be happy (with extra N). At that pH, uptake of metals (like iron and manganese) is going to be a challenge for your plants.

Agree - your pH is the only problem and their suggestion on the Nitrogen is the standard one always made and may or may not be needed - depends on the crop.

But the pH needs to come down or your plants are going to find most of the nutrients there unavailable for use. Suggest you review the many discussions over on the Soil forum on how to lower soil pH.

Someone must have overlimed that thing. The Ca level is 3.5 tons per acre. And this is MS, which has some of the most acid soils in the country. As it is, asparagus will grow well. Cabbage, beet and chard will probably grow. Spinach may grow. The rest you will have to try.

MMMMMM my soil sampling was not like that. I was given only ph levels (7.0). Online I read that I should plant, and use fish fertilizer. No mulch. What do you think? I am planting for an early Spring garden: onions, cabbage, spinach, lettuce and carrots.

Advise is needed.............. usually I spread cow manure. Should I this year?
