Working with sandy soil and this test was taken from cold soil,if that matters? I hit frost at 8 inches deep. Ben.

Hey ben,you need some sulfur/sulfate. You might put a little elemental sulfur say 3 lbs per 1000square feet-will drop your ph a little which is a good thing.Your potassium is high relative to ca and mag.Alum is very high unless you used alum spade to take soil sample. Nice otherwise
