Hi Slammin and welcome to GardenStew, we'll do our best to help you. The desirable levels will depend largely on what you want to plant as each plant will have its own requirements. If you could tell us what you want to plant then we can help you with a more specific answer In general the three major nutrients peform the following functions: Nitrogen - Leaf production Phosphorous - Root and flower production Potassium - Flower production
