I finally broke down and did a soil test. Received the results via email in less than a week. Trying to find the time to sit down and re-read "The Intelligent Gardener" so that I can formulate a plan. I did receive a daily email from permies.com and there was a link to a spreadsheet that one can plug in test results and it will generate a plan. Hoping to try it out soon if I can find time amid the holiday rush.
