reading some of these soil tests i notice the om varies greatly.at what point does adding large amounts of compost give you too high a reading?

About the time you have muck and very poor drainage.

good question Tim...I'm way high...looks like dust to me if it's not watered...while it will hold moisture I'm not sure about nutrients....it tested well but I'm still throwing clay in it..I'll never turn to muck cause below it is another two feet of uncomposted leaves...I'll keep throwing clay in it till then...any ideas will help

Mine came in way high too, but, I'm not worried due to all the rocks in my patch, I think I'll have good drainage, and a ton of leaf compost was added in the Fall as well. I think with the rocks as good drainge, and the other numbers that came back, I'm not too worried about it.
