I was hoping someone else would help you out. I have a limited knownledge of soil. However,Your Magnesium looks good. But your Potassium and Calcium needs to be increased. It wouldn't hurt to raise your Ph. I see your OM is 8.7 I would still throw about 4 to 6 inches of compost. That will help with everything else. Are you on sand?

Thanks guys. Kurty, my soil isn't sandy but i'm sure there is sand if i dig a bit. I live on an old flood plain of a very large river that drops a lot of sand and silt every year. I will be putting down some compost/manure in the spring and was thinking about some lime for my calcium and ph needs. Tom i will e mail you with the report attached. Again, thank you both for the help.
