Fault
The fault lies not in myself, but in the sodium.
Texture Clay Loam
pH 6.8
Normal
Salinity - ECe 2.1
High
Phosphorus - P 96
Very High
Potassium - K 580
High
Probably mostly from previous inorganic fertilizers. Poor drainage and I need to water more, but less often, I think. This week I will call the county agent and see what they have to say. But it does explain why the beans just sat there, and the edges did far worse than the middle. But, the potatoes - do they LIKE all that saline? Maybe. Much research to be done, plans to be made, studying and finding out.
Great Salt Lake indeed.

Ah Ha!!! It doesn't help that we have extremely high levels of salt in our water... so you water salty dirt with salty water. Somehow makes me want to wear a patch over one eye, shout "arrrgh", and head out to "sea" on the GSL!?! That would be a sight!
I miss the Great Lakes I grew up among, tis true.
