Soil test for the backyard

Took a few samples using the new Fiskars core aerator. The PH reading is between 6.0 and 6.5, and tall fescues like 6.0 to 7.0 PH. Kentucky Blue likes 6.0 to 7.5. So I guess I do not need to lime for now.

Here's a link to the test kit I used, the "Luster Leaf" soil kit.
Below is a picture of the result.


The Potassium, Phosporus and Nitrogen levels. Seems to say surplus of Potassium, depleted Nitrogen, and adequate or low Phosphorus.
