RE: [compost_tea] Soil Sampling
Re:
Soil Sampling on baseball fields
Kevin,
maybe you should do your tests on the same days each year so you can say that
the samples were taken at (relatively) the same points. I would also track
the rain fall in the area, before, during and after, and other
important variables, besides ACT, that could explain the
differences.
I
would also recommend that you document your tests on paper thoroughly.
Making a map of each site and marking the sample areas would be important (maybe
count the steps to each sample area). Each area could have different soil,
drainage, and other growing conditions.
As a
final idea, if you don't send SFI samples from each area, then why don't you
make a blend of each field and send in a soil sample to SFI for testing from
each designated ball field.
When
you say that the dilution will be dependent on weather and mood, the application
rates and dilutions should be fully documented on your records. I'm
sure you will want to review these long afterwards, and they may indeed explain
the results in a different way than you thought.
GOOD
LUCK! It sounds like an exciting test.
