I believe the test shows mild alkalinity, right?

Right, if the results of your test are accurate. Are you sending your
soil off for testing or using a DIY test kit? If DIY, results can
vary quite a bit.

It's a DIY kit and it's been around for a "few" years g

I once participated in an experiment where we compared hi end lab
analyzers against various DIY kits using the same soil samples. DIY
kits averaged .5 variation from the lab equipment, with the worse case
being 1.5 different. So DIY kits can give you a ballpark idea of your
soil, but don't rely on them for accuracy. BTW, many labs will not
test for nitrogen levels unless you specify the test. That's because
nitrogen levels are so erratic because of so many factors.
