Soil test question #865430

Asked April 22, 2024, 12:54 PM EDT

Hello,  I had previously sent  question about what looks like "snow fungus", but now as I am trying to really get my lawn moving forward, I have soil test questions.  we have done multiple soil tests to see if there are extremes and there are.

PH is fairly high, but not too drastic

Nitrogen is depleted

Phosphorus is depleted

Potash is adequate

With the fungus, I do not want to cause any further problems.  I am looking for a good fertilizer ratio and de thatching, aerating and over seeding.

Hoping these are questions you can answer.

Thank you,

Tom Bunnell

Hi Tom,   I am not familiar with snow fungus,  are you referring to a type of snow mold?  Feel free to give me a call to further discuss.
