That sounds like some good soil. I could wish for the same. Ours is acid and low in fertility and alkalinity. N is low also. Interestingly our water even with those soils does not need supp N , only P so we use mostly 0-46-0 at about 1/5 the recommended rate. The added P will only work if lime is added to bring up the alkalinity. If I am not careful coming out of winter we can go from tap water clear to 12in or less of visibility in a couple of days. Even with all that we rarely have any FA reach the surface and only limited amounts on bottom. It took about 5 years of attempts after soil and water tests to figure out the best way to manage the situation. The best advice is know your own soils/water and go slowly at fisrt. Mother Nature has a way of imposing her will.
