Here are my numbers. I took a sample pre tilling of 2 yards composted cow manure. (Manure was still in my truck) Patch is just about 1000 square feet. This is one area where I'm still a bit sketchy. Any help is much apprecialted.
Soil pH --- 6.9 Buffer pH --- 6.8 NO3-N --- 11 ppm NH4-N --- 3 ppm Organic matter 8.4 % (P) --- 65 ppm (K) --- 253 ppm (Ca) --- 2761 ppm (Mg) --- 223 ppm (B) --- 0.7 ppm (Mn) --- 6.8 ppm (Zn) --- 19.7 ppm (Cu) --- 0.7 ppm (Fe) --- 3.5 ppm
Thanks

Potash is high relative to Calcium. And the manure wil deliver more.
Without the CEC or Base saturation Percentages, I'd still like to see some Gypsum. It will raise Calcium & leach any salts that might still be in that manure.
