Soil sample results

OK, got report by email. waiting for the hard copy.
Basically it looks pretty good for a first year garden, converted from grass.

Garden pH = 7.1
A bit too high and I know why. I added too much wood ash.

Topsoil by the creek (Lots of organic matter). pH =4.6. as expected pretty acidic.
Aha. I have a pile of it. I will bring some and add/mix in to my garden soil to lower the pH.

Topsoil (the above)/ wood ash ( 50/50) >pH =6.9 ... perfect. I wanted to know how to effect is and how to mix them.

P, K: as it is always the case : IN ABUNDANCE. so is Ca, Mg.
N : as always very low. I've got the solution. I have 2 gallons of concentrated Fish fert: 5-1-1

Now , instead shooting in the dark , I see the target to shoot at.
