What kind of plants are good for this kind of soil seen below?
Good afternoon everybody, I recently got results from the lab regarding soil and plant tests with some surprising results. Instead of being low in nutrients, the garden is quite high. I’m curious if anybody knows what kind of native plants would be good for the soil as described in the attached analysis sheets.

Caramel colored blight on blue spruce trees
We have notice a caramel colored blight on our large blue spruce trees. So far we see no damage but are concerned if this is something we need to remove. Or if it just is normal?? Please advice if you can identify and what we should or should not do.

what Is My Tiny Bug Infestation?
It started late this winter. Each time I entered my garage I felt very sharp bites from seemingly invisible bugs. Now it is warmer and I get these same SHARP bites whenever I walk on my lawn and tend to my shrubs. I have never had allergies. I am cleaning everything from my garage. CAN YOU HELP ME? THE BITES ARE SO BAD THAT I CANNOT STAY IN THE GARAGE OR ON MY LAWN.I still have not been able to see any of these bugs or whatever it is.
UPDATE: THIS MAY SOUND LIKE A JOKE (SEEMINGLY INVISIBLE BUGS) BUT I ASSURE YOU I AM SERIOUS. I HAVE HEARD OF "NO-SEE-UMS" BUT YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THOSE BUGS.
TODAY IS THURSDAY, MAY 7, 2020. I hope someone is there to reply to me, but certainly not a priority with the corona virus issues today.
