I have been studying organic fertilizers, preparing myself to offer the service to customers. I plan to use my own lawn and one other customer as the test sites / before and after pictures too.
I had a soil test done by the Agricultural lab from the state and here are the findings.
Recommend applying 3 times a year during growing season ( May, Sept, Nov) one of the following:
20-27-5 5 lb / 1000 sqft
18-25-6 5.5 / 1000
18-24-12 5.5 /1000
17-23-6 5.75 / 1000
16-21-4 6.25 / 1000
16-12-4 6.25 / 1000
11-25-11 9 / 1000
10-23-10 10 / 1000
PH level 6.5 none recommended
It looks like they would like to see Phosphorus ( middle# ) higher.
What would you guys recommend to address this organically?
