Dump a dozen worms on the site, if the worms all stand up on one end and run off it like there on hot coals you know the dirt is no good. Huh Huh Huh Sorry I can't help.

Some others may have other opinions, but I think this is a great sample. Your k and Mag is a little high but I wouldn't worrie too much about that. Perhaps a little sulfur to drop that PH to 7.0 or 6.9. I would suggest about 20 lbs per 1000 ft2. The k and Mg will reduce naturally over time.

Get r done!
