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.
