No More “He Said/She Said” Articles for Me. by Brad Dubbels / Capital Green Guys http://soilfirst.com/no_more/#comment-66 Brad Dubbels / Capital Green Guys Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:46:50 +0000 http://soilfirst.com/?p=1032#comment-66 On one account I had to use a hammer to get first soil test. After aggressive Gypsum - Kmag applications to correct Base saturation I can push soil probe down easy on this heavy clay. Other companies using the old NPK models are going out of business. With Texas drought and heat my turfgrass performance and recovery works because of managing the soil. Base saturation and balancing C:N fertility is critical to the health of plants in very high stress environment. Most of all, my customers expect me to be on the cutting edge when they hire a professional. Not just do what I've always done. On one account I had to use a hammer to get first soil test.

I have worked with Joel years ago but felt there was a slight conflict of interest there. I aways liked his explanation for his recommendations. I see you are affiliated with Logan Labs. I have my testing done by AgSource and have recently recieved my latest sample results. After 32 yrs as Supt. I still can't seem to read them and get desired results. I would be willing to send my samples to Logan Labs in the future but for now I'm looking for help with the results I have right now. I plan to also re-test some areas. C.
