soil test... keep the faith?

Hi listers:

Below is my soil test, taken this fall. Of course, I'd love to hear
your interpretations and recomendations.

Some things are definitely "out-of-wack", like the pH which is 7.5,
but this is better than two years ago when it was 7.8. And organic
matter is low at 2.3%, but this is up from when I started when it
didn't even register... zero!

The sulfer reading might be a result of my adding sulfer a month
before the test.

Thanks, Cliff
