A few updates to the country garden. During the week the red clover was cut and plowed in to the soil. On Saturday I conducted a soil and nutrient test. The reading was a soil pH around 6.8 a moderate amount of nitrogen and a deficiency of phosphorous and potash.

The plan is to apply a small amount of 10-10-10 within the next 30 days and to apply further fertilizer as needed based on crop growth stage and nutrient requirement. No soil amendments or pH correction is planned at this time.
