Wow first thing I thought was get some lime in there but see you've already done that..After this years test you might find that foliar feeding the deficient items to the plant will be beneficial this year and the run off will help the soil for next year..Be interesting to see the next test results though.GrowEmBig!

Randy....Not sure you added enough to bring the P and K up for that size patch, but you'll find out soon enough.
