I have reservations making recommendation on US soils that I don't know well....but the UK? LOL
We're really driving blind but if we are certain there are no pest issues & that this soil *used to* perform....(was the pH increasing or decreasing? Were the Ca & K up, optimal or down?)...then applying *modest* amounts of Ca & K should burn down the house & might jump start some growth.
