Oliver,

The hardware store test kit should likely be left on the shelf. Go to
attra and use an alternative lab using Reams methods. Post your data
and I'm certain someone will help you interpret the information. The
big problem with ordinary testing is that the information does not
tell you what is plant available. We're not mining soil nutrients
we're interested in feeding plants.

Regards,
Linda
