Charles, the test is probably not too reliable is my guess after having studied it again.

The test was done by 1:2 volume water extraction, is what it says. As far as the humus content goes, it says “estimated” and the result is then poor?

I had expected the test would also give me readings for different minerals like iron, magnesium, boron etc., but it doesn’t.

Fungi was not tested.

It was done by a large garden supplies company here in Switzerland, and they of course do want to sell me their products. Unfortunately one can not have test done by university agricultural extension offices like one can in the US.
