Dear experts,

Recently I took soil tests in my land, no farming for last 20 years. Planning to do organic farming. As an initial plan wanted to keep 500+ Palm trees around the land in next couple of months.

Two soil samples were taken from different parts of land due to Soil colour and water from well. I badly need advise and didn't want to do inorganic way. Experts kindly help in how to improve soil and water for horticulture and vegetable crops.

Soil Sample 1:
EC : 0.3
Ph : 8.6

N:40.6 (low)
P:1.7 (low)
K :229.48 (high)

Fe : 0.4 (low)
Mn : 0.9 (low)
Zn : 0.09(low)
Cu : 0.03(low)

Soil Sample 2:
EC : 0.3
Ph : 8.4

N:37..8 (low)
P:3.7 (low)
K :127.43 (high)

Fe : 0.1 (low)
Mn : 1.1 (low)
Zn : 0.05(low)
Cu : 0.1(low)

Water test results:
It's open well water, lot of quarries are nearby and some places overburden is low as well. Let me know if there is any solution or can I put couple of borewells and mix to reduce the sodium sulpate content
Ph : 8.00

Carbonate : 1.40
Bi-carbonate : 4.40
Chlrodie: 6.30
Sulphate : 54.90
Calcium : 4.80
Magnesium : 5.60
Sodium : 56.23
