Is this test results for soil or potting mix? I just sent one off to the same people for a potting soil test.

I know you can buy all of those ingredients except copper bulk at concentrates NW. The copper may be there but I've never looked for it. Can you tell me what the the biopin copper adds besides a little N and the copper itself? I'm just wondering if there is a way to get those things that might offer other things. I know that the biomin copper is an amino acid chelate so it is considered organic. But I'm pretty sure there can be issues with excess copper and I learned that California regulates the levels of copper in fertilizers. I dunno. Pretty baked right now and am kind of thinking out loud. Either way I'm getting my holes from last year tested. It looks like you can enter the amendments available to you and it offers amounts for the amount of soil you've got. I'm exited to do this.

It's a blend of my own native soil blended with amendments I just threw together..I've been freeballin my mix and trying to adjust through nutes.
I'm trying to make it simpler and get my potting mix dialed in so I can just brew a tea or just water and topfeed with castings etc..
I'm in 100 soil saver fabric pots.

It's interesting that the calcium is so low, cause I fed exclusively with Nectar for the Gods with is Calcium rich
I figured the gypsum was lacking cause I didn't add any.
I've got a lot to learn about dialing in my soil. I was reading about this soil builder not till soil method where all you do is add a 3-4" layer of manure in the fall and cover with black plastic for the winter and let the living organisms take care of the rest.
