Don't have anything to offer but you're not alone.

I just tried gardening for the first time (been an apartment dweller
with little sun my whole life). The gorund dirt I had to start with
looked like a sandbox, had very few weeds growing in it and my soil
test came up empty on Nitrogen and very little phosphorus. I did a
bunch of similar work on it and so far I'm doing ok. I won't know
until end of season when I get to compare plant in the reworked dirt
to the ones in new, healthy soil.
