Hello, I had previously sent question about what looks like "snow fungus", but now as I am trying to really get my lawn moving forward, I have soil test questions. we have done multiple soil tests to see if there are extremes and there are.
PH is fairly high, but not too drastic
Nitrogen is depleted
Phosphorus is depleted
Potash is adequate
With the fungus, I do not want to cause any further problems. I am looking for a good fertilizer ratio and de thatching, aerating and over seeding.
Hoping these are questions you can answer.
Thank you,
