Ratings & Reviews for Soil Test Kit

Fast and simple

Easy to use, quick results

Quick test method to verify obvouis!

I got into gardening this year, wanted to get my garden rocking. First wanted to test the soil. only pH worked. Other tests provided no results. tried many time and followed the instructions. after awhile it just tested potting soil and it responded. the problem was obvouis, my soil lacked any detectable N/P/K in it and test wants high amount to detect. Fertilzer is required every 2 months and we never did it. So not alot of N/P/K. the reason why Ph works as it will always have a number on the 1...

A little more research could've saved my money

After a handful of years with mixed results growing many different plants I finally decided it was time to look more in depth to my substrates rather than relying on labels, community results, and straight up guessing. This kit seemed like it'd be the solution for me as I prepare to locate prime growing locations for 50 new tree seedlings onto my property in Upstate New York. My gripe with this product starts with the marketing as "40 Tests" in large lettering on the front of the package. Stupid...

pH test worked as expected, other 3 did not.

I am having issues with my lawn and plan on putting sod down this month. I wanted to be certain that the soil is not an issue. I followed the test kit instructions carefully but found that the Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium results were useless. I may try again and let the soil sample "brew" overnight instead of the 30 minutes. I am disappointed as I was hoping to find some helpful information.

You get what you pay for. Invest in the best.

I would have preferred a digital unit. This kit is kind of a hassle for me.

Extremely to use

This test kit is extremely easy to use and gave me the information I needed. Plus it is color coded which I love.

used for hay field...and it paid off

my hay field got worse year after year ... so I used this kit . well the issues were clear .. low potash and phosphorus.. so I added both but but not heavy ( too much is just as bad ) and it really worked , especially on the second cutting. So now every year I check my soil with this kit , as expensive as fertilizer as now you are crazy not to test your soil.

Capsule don't come apart.

The kit is relatively easy to use. I found it impossible to open the capsules by just pulling the capsule apart. I used scissors to snip the end of the capsules to get the chemicals out.

DOES NOT SUCCULENTS ON LIST

I bought this in or near the succulents. I asked for a test kit specifically for my succulent plants. Since it says plants and flowers I of course figured there would be succulents listed in the paper full of different types of ALL plants. not 1 name was for a succulent.

that's it above

It was mostly accurate. It said every thing was low to very low. it just did not give me any idea how low was low. My soil test sample said same thing but it gave actual numbers and recommendations.

Falls apart

I used this twice. Both times I received conflicting results within inches of the same location. The second time I just this, the probe pulled out and tore loose the wires.

Suspect results after nitrogen failure

Do not waste your money. Failure of the nitrogen test to detect any nitrogen invalidates all tests using the capsules. Do not buy!
