Of course a bag or a few bags of dolomite lime would rectify the
acidity and sweeten the soil, as for the nitrogen that should be back
to where it was before you dug in the shavings, and high nitrogen
fertilizer could increase that, but if there is pine etc. growing
there, then your soil is possibly acidic from itself, in that case live
with it or increase the PH with limestone.

Have fun and take care

We take a pretty simple approach... I dump the shavings and the grass clippings
from the mower bag in the back yard and the boss runs the roto-tiller over it
every couple of months...
The clippings seem to supplement what the shavings take out, from what we've
seen in the last couple of years..
