Yes, I wasn't planning on lashing any P or K about. I haven't applied any artificial fert for four years and very little at that point. But I was thinking that I should put my hand in my pocket for a bit of lime where indicated?Remember, your tests only likely show you're "slightly short" of available P&K.
(The actual amounts present are massive)
I like the term.you used there, hopefully if you don't have roots that are slightly short then your ability to tap those reserves will be improved, because the easiest way to stall the P cycle is to apply phosphate fertiliser.
And remember that the usual Olsen tests apply to soil pH 7-7.5, ie it's easier on the pocket to ignore that line on the test
