Proven Soil Test Kit
Testing Your Soil is Quick and Easy
Before planting, you should understand the fertility of your garden soil. Is the pH too low or the phosphorus and potassium too high? These questions are difficult to answer if you haven't given your soil a test lately. Plants need food (nutrients)for health growth. Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potash (N, P and K for short), play a vital role in plant growth just as vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and protein do in our health.
Everything is color-coded, including the color comparator films and capsules. All you do is take a sample of soil, mix with water, transfer some of the solution to the color comparator, add powder from capsule, shake and watch the color develop. Then, note your test results. Fast, easy and it only takes a few minutes!
When to test your soil
Soil should be tested periodically throughout the growing season, but it is especially recommended to test before planting in spring and when preparing beds in fall. And, if you feel your plants are not growing well, a soil test may help. Annual applications of fertilizer can raise the nutrients to excessively high levels, reducing plant growth and prevent seed germination.
