If the test was taken before the manure, work it all in and wait until spring, then retest. Was the manure well composted? That sounds like a lot of material.

You should of just tested the manure... That is what you'll be growing in. I would have a plan in place for root disease. Your numbers should however easily triple.

The manure was high quality or at least it looked that way and it was well composted. How do you add potassium?

You wont need any potassium... Hold what you got.
