I talked to a few people about my soil test and this is what I got.
pH is 6.5: I want it at 7.2 Nitrogen is at 10 ppm: I want it at 250 ppm OM is at 6%: I want it at 15% Phosphorus is at 9 ppm: I want it at 120 ppm Potassium is at 151 ppm: I want it at 300 ppm Calcium is at 1217 ppm: I want it at 3,000 ppm Magnesium is at 159 ppm: I want it at 320 ppm
Everything else looks OK. Question #1: What products should I use to correct these numbers? Question #2: What amounts of those products should I apply to a 1200 sq. ft. patch? Question #3: When should I expect to see results from these additions?
Thanks, and remember I don't have much time left to do add things. Alex.

Calcium Nitrate will bring your PH up along with your Calcium levels. You could also use a well balance 10-10-10 fertilizer to bring your other nutrients up. Better yet go find a bunch of old manure.
