So all 120 vines are in the ground as of last week and the buds are already starting to swell and pop. I'll have to update the Green Mist thread. Anyhow, I decided to do another soil test to see where my liming and soil amendments got me. All soil amendments were done in Oct, so it's only been 7 months. My pH went from 4.7 to 5.2, but I think I really want to lime some more (especially for the Euro grapes) to get up more towards 6. Below is a before and after of my soil. I spent a LOT of $$ on bonemeal, yet my phosphorous levels are still the same at a bleak 1 lb/acre. Any suggestions or recommendations and should I be using a 10-10-10 fertilizer this first year?
