It is specially made to make soil sampling much easier and more convenient. This kit comes with a soil sample bag that has a "fill line" to ensure that the right amount of soil will be provided for testing.  The kit also includes collection instructions and a pre-paid envelope for sending your sample to the lab.  Your soil sample from your lawn, garden, for trees or shrubs, or just a specific problem area is tested by one of the leading agricultural laboratories so results are sure to be accurate.

WHAT DO THE ITEMS ON THE SOIL REPORT MEAN?

MACRONUTRIENTS: Two groups of macronutrients; Primary and Secondary.

  • Primary: Plants use large amounts for growth and survival.
    •  Nitrogen (N): Fuel for plant, cell formation, responsible for photosynthesis.
    •  Phosphorus (P): Cell formation, root health, encourages bloom, transforms solar energy into chemical energy.
    •  Potassium (K): Root health, water regulation, photosynthesis, reduction of diseases, increases size and quality of fruits.
  •  Secondary: Needed in moderate amounts.
    • Calcium (Ca): Essential part of plant cell wall structure, strength in plant, used in root system and leaf development.
    • Magnesium (Mg): Activates many plant enzymes needed for growth, central atom of the chlorophyll molecule which makes it necessary for photosynthesis.

MICRONUTRIENTS: Elements essential for plant growth which are needed only in very small (micro) quantities.

  • Boron (B): Aids in production of sugar and carbohydrates, essential for germination of pollen grains and pollen tubes.
  • Copper (Cu): Important for reproductive growth, catalyst for other plant reactions.
  • Iron (Fe): Essential for formation of chlorophyll, carries oxygen, critical to photosynthesis.
  • Manganese (Mn): Involved in breakdown of carbohydrates and nitrogen metabolism.
  • Zinc (Zn): Essential for transformation of carbohydrates, regulates consumption of sugars.

ORGANIC MATTER: According to the USDA, “Soil organic matter (SOM) is the organic component of soil consisting of three primary components: small (fresh) plant residues with small living soil organisms, decomposing (active) organic matter, and stable organic matter (humus).” A healthy range is 2-6%.

CATION EXCHANGE CAPACITY: An indication of the soil’s ability to hold or absorb the cations or fertilizer that is applied. The higher the CEC, the more nutrients the soil will hold.

pH: Measures the acidity of alkalinity in the soil. The industry standard for neutral is 7.

BUFFER pH: Indication of the soil’s ability to resist a pH change. The higher the buffer pH reading, the smaller amount of lime is required to raise the soil pH. To lower the pH use sulfur.

    Extremely Helpful for My 1/2 Acre Lawn

    By Chase on 03/29/2021

    I moved into my house three (3) years ago where I have since developed a challenging relationship with my lawn. Last year, I accidentally grabbed the bottle of glyphosate, instead of the 2,4-D, and incidentally killed 1/2 of my grass. I have 25,000 sqft of Kentucky bluegrass, which isn't cheap to maintain. I purchased the two-pack Soil Kit, and in about a week later, I had results for my front and back yards. I learned that I had been over-fertilizing quite a bit and needed to focus more on pH rather than phosphorus and potassium. The whole process is very simple and really allowed me to tailor the treatment of my lawn with much greater accuracy and precision. 5 out of 5, plan to use again!

    Fast and easy

    By Sean on 12/22/2020

    Loved everything about Soilkit. I have been trying to grow blueberries for years. When I originally purchased SoilKit I thought I was going to get results I wouldn't be able to understand. About 5 days after sending my sample in I received an email that my results were ready. To my surprise It was very simple and easy to read. After reviewing the results I wanted to know more information so I reached out to SoilKit directly where I received exceptional service. If you are looking for a solution to your lawn or garden needs look no further.

    Soil Test Kit

    By Jim on 10/09/2020

    Easy to use and the result came back quickly. However the recommendation wasn't entirely complete to the results and the product recommended can not be shipped to Massachusetts. I will take the results to someone else and see if they can help.

    soilkit

    By Wanda on 11/27/2020

    So many questions unanswered with the kit results. Basically it said my soil was in good condition and yet I am unable to grow grass and even weeds do not like the area. I have felt it needed something and tried the kit. Recommends using only fertilome and lime. All results in quality was VH and yet it is barren and has been for over 30 years. Small patio home yard. I could use a little more information and advice on this problem.

Q
Will the Soil Kit detect the Sugar Cane Mosaic Virus as well?
A

No, the Soil Kit does not test for viruses or diseases and should be used to help determine what fertilizer, lime, or nutrients are needed for healthier soil. Iron, zinc, pH levels, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, manganese, magnesium, and boron levels of the soil will be tested.  

For assistance with lawn disease/virus identification, we would recommend contacting your County Extension Office for assistance.
