Thanks for your question. It has been referred to me. Also thank you for including your soil report. It has been very informative.

I have the following comments and suggestions:

1). Your soil texture is “coarse”, which indicates a soil that has a high level of sand. Usually this implies that your vegetable garden has poor water retention and would require watering on a frequent and daily basis.

2). The organic matter content is 8.9%, which is slightly on the high side. This is both good and bad. It improves the ability of the soil to hold water. This counteracts the poor water retention that is often seen in coarse soils. I going to guess that over the years, you have regularly added compost to your garden. Perhaps this has been done in the fall with leaves? To the extent that any of this is at least partially correct, such action has probably contributed to the very high phosphorous in your garden. This is to be expected as during decomposition of leaves, large amounts of phosphate are released into the soil. This is not a significant problem as soil phosphate levels are in a great state of flux and can change rather quickly. It is nothing that you need to “fix”. Sometimes one can add too much compost. You mentioned this in your question. For this 2024 season, I would suggest no addition of compost. This would also include no additions of coffee grounds, banana peels, or eggshells. By curtailing adding more compost, this will tend to reduce the soil phosphate going into 2025. For sure, do NOT add anything like manure. See:

3). There is a recommendation of adding 0.15 pounds of nitrogen/100 sq. ft. You mentioned applying a 34-0-0 fertilizer. As you know, this means that in every pound of such fertilizer there would be 0.34 pounds of nitrogen. To meet the recommended amount of nitrogen to be added, you then need to add about 0.4 pounds of fertilizer per 100 square feet of garden. Distributing this small amount of fertilizer equally over the 100 square feet would present practical problems. If your garden is less than 100 square feet, the challenge is even greater

For this reason, let me suggest blood meal as an alternative. It can be obtained at most garden centers. Looking at the container label, typically it will indicate that it contains 12% nitrogen by weight. This means that in every pound of blood meal there is 0.12 pounds of nitrogen. To meet the nitrogen recommendation in the soil report, add 1.25 pounds of blood meal per 100 square feet of garden. This is an easier quantity to work with than 34-0-0. The nitrogen in blood meal is also slow release. As the name implies, rather than a large influx of nitrogen immediately, the nitrogen will feed you garden for a much longer time period. See:

4). The potassium level of your soil is on the high side. In most instances, no remedial action is necessary. By reducing the amount of compost you add to your garden, I suspect that the potassium levels will fall. Soil potassium is also water soluble. I don’t know what your watering procedure is. A long, slow watering of your garden is far more effective in leaching out excessive potassium than a brief but very strong watering. Give it a try!

5). The soil pH of 7.4 is very suitable for the growing of vegetables. No issues here.

Good luck. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Thanks for using our forum.
