You will add nitrogen and potassium. You can buy them raw, but they won't come with instructions.

Otherwise, adding well composted compost will bring your nutrients back up, along with a 1/4 strength application of DOLOMITIC lime and full strength applications of either IRON or SULFUR will correct the balance of your soil Ph from being too alkaline.
