Most soil admendments take 3-6 months to become efective. Some like Lime, Gypsum can take up to 3 years to become fully effective.
I always add my admendments in the fall and then some others that I will need for late in the season in the earily spring.
If you tilled admandments in 3 days ago I would say that it will be mid july before you see any great effects.
