John, A good start would be to add Lime for the PH and Calcium (PH should be around 7.0 and Calcium @ 2000-3000 ppm) and organic matter (shredded leaves, compost, or aged manure). I live in Milford CT...E-mail me at midnightrun11@att.net and we can talk more once I know the size of your patch. Mark
