sooby said:Are the plants showing any symptoms? Usually excess potassium interferes with other nutrients causing deficiency symptoms in those. If you did not get the soil test because of a problem with the plants then perhaps the answer is to just not add any more and then test again at a later date to see if it is lowering.

this area was unknown to me. I decided to till the soil and reset cause of the plants heaving from the freeze thaw winter cycles. the plants did well into a late grow season then in the spring they emerged and grew until the first dry spell. the plant roots have burned away and foliage has shrunk back. developing roots are extremely tiny. There is lots of small broken rock in this area which I believe is releasing the potassium.
