Soil Analysis Service
Soil testing kits can be ordered online by clicking "add to cart" next to the chosen product. Soil kits are paid for using your credit/debit card or PayPal account.
Your Order Reports are available as agricultural or gardening.
Agricultural
?Where future crops are known, e.g. wheat, barley, this can be stated on the kit and estimates of fertiliser requirements are included in the report. This can be of use to farmers.
Gardening
?Where no specific cropping regime is envisaged, e.g. most garden analysis, an estimate of fertiliser requirements cannot be given. This is applicable to most gardeners.
Please select the type of analysis required and the type of report for each. Multiple samples can be entered on the following page.

pH
?Soil pH determines the acidity, or alkalinity of your soil based on the pH scale. Knowing the soil pH of a soil can influence the planting regime and management of that soil, e.g. lime can be added to an acid soil to increase soil pH.

pH & Nutrient status (Mg, K & P)
?Nutrient Status (magnesium (Mg), potassium (K) & phosphorus (P), determines the concentrations of major plant nutrients available, e.g. 'very low', 'moderate', 'high'. This can help determine a fertiliser regime for your soil.

pH, Nutrient status (Mg, K & P) & Organic matter
?Organic matter is a determination of the concentration of organic material present within the soil. Organic matter is an important component of soil, assisting in water retention of sandy soils, and aggregating of particles, thus drainage, in 'heavy' clay soils.

pH, Nutrient status (Mg, K & P), Organic matter & Nitrate status
?Nitrate, is a major supplier of nitrogen (N) to plants, it is also water soluble and very variable, within the soil system. This analysis varies greatly with water capacity, soil temperature and season, for the majority of gardeners it is probably of limited use. However, horticulturists or competitive growers use the analysis to optimise fertiliser additions.
