2017 Lawn Additions

This year's heavy hitter was soybean meal, as usual, with some corn early in the season.  Even with the heavy rains, fungal issues never occurred. 

I did spray ferrous sulfate as well, which helps enhance the color, back right around the time I winterized.

2017 was very similar to 2016, and I expect no major revisions for 2018.

2017 Garden Additions

2017 is almost a carbon copy of 2016's garden applications, with levels more than sufficient to sustain a dense flower garden.  As the photos show, I certainly had no problems with blooming intensity!

About the only change was a reduction in the amount of monoammonium phosphate.  Phosphorous levels are already very high.

I didn't list the slow calcium I added this year, about 20 pounds per thousand square feet.  That will gently release over the next few years, holding the pH in the lower 6 range.
