Yet again I see a soil test coming back with depleted nitrogen and too much P and K.
I see no reason a person couldn't just add an organic source of nitrogen and be done with it.
Not only would it help break down the compost it would feed the plants.
Mow I'm going to wish I didn't even post this.

Yeah. My soil test results are typical: N is Low , P and K high.
I know why N is low. I kept fertilizing with high P,K ( 0-10- 10, 12-4-8)and then I stopped fertilizing all together sometime in September. And with the rain pouring down (PNW , you know !!) the soil is depleted of N. Taking care of that the easiest part for me,: (Manure + Ammonium Sulfate).
I am not an for or against Organic Gardener per se . I use a lot of manure , compost etc. I find organic fertilizers beyond my wallet
But I will get some of that JOB's job , to hire some microbes.
May your gardens be fruitful
