Sean,
10 years ago, my Ca - Mg ratios averaged 3:1. Now after deliberate stategies to better balence my soil they read 7:1. I did not do any direct comparisons (I wish someone would) but I do have records that indicate that my soil is now producing higher yielding and better quality crops. Soil stucture is has also noticibly improved. Sorry I don't have hard numbers, but I tend to think there is something to getting the Ca: Mg ratios to 7:1.
