Soil For Outdoor Question

I have a pile of almost black top soil that I took to the County extension office to be analyzed. The guy looks at it and says I need to mix what I am going to use it with and bring it back. He says the PH is around 6.5 give or take but the nutrients are extremely low.

I guess he is a human lab or something because he convinced me it was a waste to submit it, he could tell by looking, smelling, and feeling it.

Given he is correct what would you mix with the stuff, @ what ratio, per say I plan to add some Wal-Mart bagged manure?

I am digging 2-1/2 gallon holes with a 2-foot deep post hole in the center and will be filling it with my mix.

Thanks

It would be impossible for him to tell what's in it by that method.. Sounds like he is feeding you a line of BS
