Hi Dorothy
I suggest you do a brookside or perry labs soil test and do all the trace
elements including cobalt and molybdenum. Make sure the soil sample is done
thoroughly. Also suggest you look back to Robin's posting re calcium and
organic matter. While tinkering with trace element applications will
sometimes give spectacular results, it will only be tinkering unless or
until you have good calcium on the base exchange and functional organic
carbon in place. There are very few soils with serious trace problems and
ideal calcium balance and OM - exceptions to every rule certainly but always
work on the basic stuff. A lot of the other problems will self correct via
improved microbial activity when you get these two going properly. Post your
soil test to the list when you get it back ?
Cheers
Lloyd Charles
