More Soil Amendment Questions

I have beds with too much of the following nutrients.  The normal ranges are in ()

Potassium: 187 (100-130)
Calcium: 1449 (> 1000) - I'm not sure if this is too high?
Iron: 86.3 (2.4-10.6)
Sulfur: 22.0 (5-17)
Zinc: 4.7 (0.4-3.2)
Aluminum: 202 (8-107)

Other info-
soil pH: 6.2
Soil Organic Matter %: 5.5
CEC, meq/100g: 11.0
Soil tests were done through the UVM Extension

I'm in southern Vermont, zone 5b
The area was lawn until 2 years ago when we built a high tunnel for chickens.  The chickens have been moved and I'm planning on taking the high tunnel down and putting in garden beds.  I'd like to get the ground tilled and amended before the winter if possible.

What do I do with this soil?

Personally, I think that looks pretty decent!

What is your soil like? Lots of sand or perhaps clay? If you are a lucky duck it might be loamy or if you are like me it could be really rocky.

I've found that compost is quite the 'cure-all' and can solve a multitude of soil issues. The key in my opinion is the quality of the compost you are utilizing. I don't produce enough compost for all of my gardening but I have a trusted local source that makes a really nice consistent compost product.

Leaf mold is pretty neat if you can get your hands on it, most folks have to make it at home over time.

I agree with Timothy regarding compost being a cure all.  Compost tea is great also.

And I love leaf mold because Mother Nature makes mine.

The iron levels concern me the most.  Though the pH is a bit low as well.  And too much aluminum?

I'm making as much compost as I can, and I can get some decent local compost.  I'm reading I shouldn't use manure, so composted manure is a no no?  Just plant based compost?

I'm collecting leaves for leaf mold but it will take time to decompose.

While the iron and aluminum are raised, it takes a bit more than high levels to pose a problem. Generally, if you had more acidic soil then you might have some complications with growing plants and having a higher amount of iron. Acidic soil makes the iron more soluble and available for plant uptake which can hamper them. Compost helps buffer soil PH in my experience.

I would not recommend utilizing fresh manure, but composted manure has served me well in my gardens. I keep chickens like you and their manure is great for plants AFTER going through composting. I would go with whatever I could get my hands on that is of good quality.

So should I raise the pH a bit?  6.2 is low.  

I personally wouldn't worry too much about it. I'm a close-enough guy and would base it off of what I'm seeing in the plants growing in the area.

I've utilized some lime in the past myself, and giving it a dusting probably wouldn't hurt but compost (being the cure-all that it is) will also help balance out your PH. I utilize lime in my chicken coop to keep things dry so it eventually ends up in the garden after the composting process.
