Thanks for all the help.

My soil test 2013 was:

PH. 7.8
Nitrate 25
Phosphorus 212
Potassium 303
Calcium 1152
Magnesium 259
Sulfur 12
Sodium 23
Iron, zinc, manganese, copper, boron I don't think were tested, however in 2007, they were all high too

Since most elements were too high only recommendation was apply nitrogen once a month and do not apply phosphorus for 5 years.

I have been trying to correct the problem for the last year, but have not had soil tested in 2014. In 2007, nitrogen was 3, so there has been some improvement there. BUT pH in 2007 was 6, so it seems I can't win. (PH done with a store bought tester is now 6.5)
