OM = 8.4% ph = 6.0 Buffer ph = 6.4 Phosphorus = 7 ppm Potassium = 237 ppm Calcium = 1010 ppm Magnesium = 104 ppm Boron = .3 ppm Manganese = 4.8 ppm zinc = 16.5 ppm copper = .4 ppm iron = 21.9 ppm Nitrogen NO3-N = 16 ppm CEC = 13.2
Base Saturations %: K = 4.7% MG = 6.6 Ca = 38.9
extractable aluminum = 65 ppm soluble salts = 0.24 ds/M
Recommends- 20lbs of lime per 100 sq/ft Patch is 2500sq/ft and 1/4 lb of N and 1/4 lb of Phos per 100 sq/ft
Anyone have better recommendations or are they right?

what OM have you been adding to the soil? Are you on sand?

no sand mostly loam, very little sand and virtually no clay. i took the test before the addition of 20 yards of manure and 10-12 yards of leaves

I would think that 500#'s is high amount of lime to be adding to 2500 sq ft starting at 6.0
I suggest go for 100#'s of high-cal lime (pelletized) this fall tilled in. Add 100lbs of gypsum after tilling (it percolates) retest early spring when the leaves and manure have had a chance to do their magic, report back then with the results
