Here is my Logan Lab Soil Report--sorry for delay -- Thanks again, Nancy

I am particularly curious about the M.E., the Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium.

The Total Exchange Capacity (M. E.) is another way of expressing the Cation Exchange Capacity or the ability of a soil to transfer nutrients, moisture, etc. Perhaps this link will help explain that for you. http://soilminerals.com/Cation_Exchange_Simplified.htm

Soil organic matter is a bit low. While 5 percent is not bad many of us organic growers prefer something in the 6 to 8 percent range.

Calcium is a bit low and Magnesium is a bit high and that means the Calcium to Magnesium ratio is out of kilter. Phosphorus is about where it should be (25 to 85 ppm, divide pounds per acre by 2 to get ppm) while Potassium is a bit low.

If Logan Labs does not provide recommendations to correct any deficiencies perhaps your county horticulturist at the Purdue Cooperative Extension Office may. It is too bad that Purdue no longer does soil testing. I have heard that the University of Kentucky would soil test for people in Indiana.
