Hi all, looking for some insight understanding the results of my first soil test. This is for a grassy urban lot in a residential area. Nothing but mowing has been done to maintain the land for the past three years; I'm not sure of its history prior to that but I imagine it was minimally maintained. I'm hoping to plant some native perennials and semi-dwarf fruit trees/shrubs this spring, and would love any advice y'all have to give for soil amendment strategy based on the following.

Modified Morgan soil test done by Dairy One Labs through Cornell Cooperative Extension

Organic matter: 10.07%
pH: 6.82
Phosphorus: 105.5 ppm
Potassium: 190 ppm
Aluminum: 3.7 ppm
Manganese: 10.9 ppm
Magnesium: 472.2 ppm
Zinc: 22.8 ppm
Iron: 2.8 ppm
Calcium: 5270.9 ppm

CCE's only recommendation was to stop excessively fertilizing to get my P and K levels in check, but again, I have never fertilized. I'd appreciate any thoughts!
