That is the most acidic soil I have ever seen. I had 5.3 and over the winter I got it to around 6.5 so hopefully you can get it above 6 by next season.

Yeah, I’m probably not going to use this patch next year. I’ll keep working on it and just use the other area for 2026.

I had a 5.0 my first spring you can get it where it belongs. Welcome to the hobby.

For both your samples I would try to find dolomite lime, one that has both calcium and magnesium. Correcting your pH will get you a long ways with your Calcium and Magnesium levels. I would also add Phosphate and Potassium this fall. Then recheck in March
