All I see is no attention whatever to the microbe levels in the soil, as if
it didn't exist or didn't matter. And no concern for levels of organic
matter. With all those numbers it could be bare dirt.

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.
