Moose333 - 4/3/2024 16:24 CEC is completely separate. Base Sat is how you compare soil test levels on different CEC soils. 120 ppm K on one soil may be a lot like 5% and in another it would be .5% base sat. 70-80% Calcium 10-13% Mg 5-8% K Leave a few % for H

You are way too high in terms of Calcium percentages! You will have a battle of double charged Positive ions to Negative charged  ions such as phosphate...they will stick together like metal to a magnet. You will then have huge problems of tied up nutrients and make more dirt, than soil. i have I guess i don't understand your explanation of  Base Saturation levels. Don't you take dirt tests to FIND OUT the C.E.C, and the BS of each field or sample? please explain what ya mean. Thx
