Thank you both for your replies. I appreciate it.
Abraham - I see you mentioning that this kind of test is only relevant for industrial gardening. So I get it that I might be overshooting. But, based on my limited knowledge, I'd still like to stick with my approach of (1) seeing what my soil deficiencies (i.e. this soil test) and (2) planting the restorative plants to ameliorate these deficiencies. I get that different plants have different needs, but I'm going to pursue a base starting point.
Anne - I am looking to build soil health - so I think we're on the same page. That's why I think the soil topic in this permaculture forum is a good place to ask. My thought process, though, to achieve good soil health is to start with a soil test (which I did) and then to plant restorative plants based on the results of the test. Is starting with a soil test considered a different approach than building soil health? Maybe this is my first lesson
.
Thanks again!
