Note: The ratings beneath each nutrient value refer
to general garden use. They may not specifically meet the needs of specialist growers.
By advising the soil analyst of the start points required
for the major elements (refer Barrie Machin Chart), I was given the amounts of fertilizers
to apply in order to reach the recommended levels.
