What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise the kit for straightforward instructions and quick testing, with many appreciating the 40 included capsules and value. The pH test earns consistent praise for accuracy and reliability, with results matching lab confirmations. However, significant concerns dominate: nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus tests frequently fail to produce color changes or give misleading results, even with known nutrients added. Many report capsules are hard to open, powder spills easily, and narrow test tubes are difficult to pour into. Despite ease-of-use appeal, most view it as a basic pH tool only, with the NPK functions unreliable.

Easy to Use

The instructions were self explanatory and the kit did what it was supposed to do. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star rating because I had to go to another source to determine what the results mean and what action to take to improve my soil for growing grass.

Difficult to use

Would Not Recommend

The kit contains test chemicals in plastic capsules. You must open the capsule and add the test chemical to each test. However, the capsules are extremely difficult to open. If you pull hard enough you likely dump the test chemical all over. I finally resorted to carefully cutting the tip of each capsule to get the test chemical out. Messy and difficult. Otherwise it worked fine. I would provide a better review if the test chemicals were packaged better.

Hold All Soil Test Kit

Would Recommend

Love it, it was so easy to use and you can do up to 40 of the 4 different types of tests (10 each). A great price for the time, effort put in to do the tests (very quick and easy) and quantity of tests.

PH test worked but thats it.

Would Not Recommend

For the price I wasn’t expecting a full on lab. Maybe a little more ease of use and accuracy though. This hasn’t given me a real rating twice now for anything but PH level. No colors came through - just dirty water. Thought I did it wrong the first time, so a couple days later I tried it again. Same results. The capsules are very VERY difficult to open; I’m not arthritic or handicapped, but anyone who is wouldn’t be able to do it. They would end up crushing them before they actually opened so yo...

Read the instructions ahead of time. 3 of the tests require time for the dirt water mix to settle before testing. Easy to use, worked well.

Very basic way of testing soil, just read the instructions and follow them. Use distilled water and follow the time lines and you should get the correct results.
