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.

Great little test kit
Would RecommendI got lucky and found this soil testing kit at my local Lowe's for half price. The test is packaged well. There are 4 test tubes with 4 different colored caps. There are 40 capsules (10 of each corresponding color) filled with the powder needed to check your soil's pH, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. I wanted to see how accurate the tests might be, so I got a sample of my best soil and a sample of some lifeless dirt. The tests worked great. The color chart included showed me I needed to do ...
You can check your soil levels at least 10 times.
