Mark, Your CEC tells how much "stuff" your soil can hold. Yours is kind of medium light, so you'll have to add more than someone with a real sandy soil, but your soil will do a pretty good job of holding whatever you give it. If you had a really high CEC and low pH, you'd be adding lime for years to bring up the pH. Ditto for many nutrients. Donna
