[QUOTE="purecountry, post: 779785, member: 2306"] Where do you get your soil tests done Steve? 6.4 for your pH is ideal. 3% O.M. is quite respectable, and if you really want to check how good things are cooking, test your Brix with a refractometer. If you're not familiar with one, it's a little tube for testing the sugar content of the plant. You squeeze in a drop or 2 of leaf juice and look in the scope to see the reading. If it's high, your soils are doing great. You cannot get high Brix nutritious crops or forage without healthy soil. As for foliar feeding we've been wanting to try it, just haven't had it in the budget yet. I think doing some test strips is a good idea. I was planning on doing it with some GSR Calcium - which we are very low on - and then also some liquid fish and sea minerals. [/QUOTE]
