Al Eaton gave me this advice:
P is high. Shoot for <200ppm K could go up a bit 300-500 Ca needs to go way up 3000-4000ppm Mg could go up 200-400
Na the lower the better
As for saturations...shoot for: K= 4 to 7% Mg = 13 to 18% Ca = 68 to 72% CEC = 17 - 22
These ratios depend on soil type, so these are general guidelines. It wouldn't hurt if the Ca was a bit higher percentage, say 80-85.

Crawdads and Water Mocassins...yep Your PH could come up a point..but do it slow with lime...More organic matter like compost and manure will bring you other things in to balance.
