Any thoughts with this soil test results?

Definitely shows some improvement from last year. Though last year I used mysoil test, this year I used the MSU extension office. Quite frankly it shows fewer things.

A few things to note. The results here shows my potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium all doubled from last year. The calcium quintupled!last year results said 527 now it's 2650! Geez oh peetz.

Last year I did some yard mastery stress blend in spring. Threw down milorganite a few times in summer, then a starter fertilizer and seeded in late summer/early fall. Got some decent grass growing. Then a late fall application for dormancy and a decent spring revival.

I watered my grass seed off my raw well water. Which I know is quite hard lots of calcium, iron, and magnesium. (I got a full chemical analysis from EGLE). That explains the skyrocketing magnesium and calcium. Is the sky high calcium going to cause any problems? Any other thoughts that you guys may see from this report? I'll probably stick to mysoil testing in the future(or another test lab) as they provide more results in their test.

This year I put down about .75lb N from Scott's weed and feed. Plus a small dose of 0-0-60 muriate of potash. Both put down a few weeks ago. Got it good nice and green, growing well. With super dark green stripes from my dang spreader wheels, lol. But man that sky high magnesium and calcium just has me thinking what ramifications it could have. As well as seeding again in fall, hitting some trouble spots again and watering again with my hard well water.
