I did a basic home soil test a few days ago, and I saw that my soil contains low amounts of phosphorus and potassium, and very low amounts of nitrogen. I also have a slightly basic psh. There were some recomendations on what to add to the soil, but that would be really expensive, and I only have about $125 for soil amendments, I was wondering what I would be able to add, as either compost, or as fertilizer, that would cost very little. I have a patch that is about 1200 square feet, and the amounts I was supposed to add were almost a pound per 100 square feet, of nitrate of calcium, and triple super phosphate, and muraite of potash, and none of those are that cheap.

The soil test was not a very accurate test, and just said I had low phosphorus, potassium, and really low nitrogen, as well as high ph. I can add up to 27 pounds of a 5-20-20 granular fertilizer, and I am working on making some compost (should be about 1-3 yards) and will add that to the patch. Also, I was not actually sure about the mychorriza, and was not going to get it, but if that is the way to go, then I'll see what I can get. Help is appreciated. Thanks.
