SOIL ANALYSIS LABORATORY
Do you dream of a lush, green lawn? Plentiful vegetable and flower gardens?
That envy-worthy lawn or garden is easier to attain than you might think! With the proper knowledge and understanding of your soil through a soil test, you, too, can achieve the lawn or garden you have always dreamed of.
Soil Sampling & Its Importance
Soil is important for plant growth and development and helps to increase the food production and productivity of crops. Hence maintainance of soil health is an important task in the field of agriculture because soils are heterogeneous in nature. Soil has to be studied and analyzed for the various Physical, Chemical and biological properties that help to maintain the fertility of the soil. The best method to study the soil is soil sampling and nutrient analysis.
Our soil kit provides you with the primary soil nutrient measurements, as well as pH, organic matter, soluble salts, cation exchange capacity, calcium, and magnesium which also influence plant growth and nutrient uptake. This comprehensive analysis ensures you have all the information needed to help your soil achieve optimal growing conditions.
Easy To Understand Report
A soil test is a process by which elements (phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulfur, manganese, iron, copper and zinc) are chemically removed from the soil and measured for their “Plant available” content within the sample. The quantity of available nutrients in the sample determines the amount of fertilizer that is recommended. A soil test also measures soil pH, humic matter and exchangeable acidity.

HOW IT WORKS
Insert spade or garden trowel to desired depth
-> Sample established lawns to the depth of 3 inches
-> Sample gardens to depth of tillage (usually 5 to 7 inches)
Reinsert spade or trowel to create a slice of soil
Remove spade or trowel with intact soil slice
Make a 1-inch core strip from center from entire core length
Remove grass and thatch, and add soil core to a clean bucket
Repeat process in five or six locations around the area to be sampled
Mix samples in bucket and fill the sample bag to the line
(approx. one cup)
Fill out this submission form and include with soil sample in box. Adhere pre-paid shipping label to the box, secure and send to laboratory.
