well, that's because:

  1) the things included are the basics that plants require.  organic
     matter and microbes are not required.  witness the poor soil used
     successfully (not sustainably) in industrial agriculture and the complete
     absence of soil in hydroponics.

  2) the test was already $90 - tests for microbe counts and organic
     matter were extra.
