Did a soil test back in the fall. Heres the basic for my results.
Ph:6.3
phosphorus: 249 ppm
calcium: 2209 ppm
Magnesium: 348 ppm
Organic matter: 6.4 %

I added 3 cubic yards of aged compost into my patch, and 20 lbs ground limestone for my 20 by 20 patch. I also planted a cover crop of winter rye. In the spring I got told to add 16 lbs of dried blood and 2 lbs of muriate of potash.
I cant want for the growing season to start. Going to post a picture of my patch soon.
