Useful Kit for Lawn Prep
Would RecommendThe SoilKit test kit was easy to use and the information is very helpful. I now have a plan for fertilizing my lawn in the early Spring. The lab results provided just what I needed to select the best Lowes products for my lawn. Thank you!
Garden Helper
Would RecommendI ran across this test kit by accident. I plant a vegetable garden yearly and realized I needed to make sure my garden had the right minerals in the soil to maximize my crop . The soil sample test results enable me to purchase the right minerals to add to the soil to achieve best crop production. Thanks for the help.
Too much search to get to the root of the problem.
Would RecommendKit ID LWOSKHBUV Results flagged an overabundance of phosphorous. I have only added a phosphorous only additive(bone meal) once and no more than a pound. There was more information on what to buy to bring my soil up to vegetable growing condition and not so much on how to solve the root cause permanently. Pictured are the transplants that will be going into the raised bed with the tested soil later this month

Vegetable garden 1st test
Would RecommendThis is the first time we have tested in years. Always had small crops. These are the tallest tomato plants we have had in years. All of our plants looked healthier this year. We have already tested again for next spring. Very easy to use. I do wish it was easier to ask questions about the test results.
DIY Soil Kit
Would RecommendWe have been trying to figure out why our lawn doesn't look as green and lush as our neighbors (and why it has so many weeds) for the last three years. After just trying the generic weed and feed without much success, we decided to try a more scientific approach and actually measure what our soil/lawn is missing (or has too much of). We had actually also completed a soil test through a local State University Extension Soil lab and both results ended up revealing the same issues (pH too high and ...

The key to improving your lawn
Would RecommendI happened upon SoilKit while browsing Lowes months before I laid down my sod lawn and I'm happy I made that spur of the moment purchase. Anytime you're questioning what lawn products to buy or why parts of your yard is failing, the answer can typically be found in a soil yet. You must know what nutrients the soil is lacking, and the way Soilkit reports that is super simple. The entire process of collecting dirt, sealing it and shipping it off was painless. Results were returned within 14 days,...
Great Kit and Simple to Use
Would RecommendI’ve consistently had issues with keeping the grass healthy and alive. It was so bad that 8 months ago I had the entire backyard and half of the front yard re-sodded. I followed my turf landscaper’s recommendations on watering, but he also suggested I do some soil sampling to determine exactly what I need to correct my issues. I showed him the SoilKit at Lowes and he said it would provide the correct information we would need to adjust our care/maintenance plan. I proceeded with purchasing the k...

Soil
Would RecommendI really liked this kit. It was fun to dig dirt from different spots with my kids, great family activity. The results were very informational, unfortunately our soil will need a lot of work. Glad I found out before I planted.
Terrific Service
Would RecommendUsed on 2.5 acre lawn. Put a little dirt in a bag, send it off in their paid envelope, and read the results. So easy, a caveman could do it. Their results break down the soil into a dozen or more metrics and they provide specific fertilizing recommendations for each of the four seasons, plus estimates on the number of bags and links to vendors who carry their recommended fertilizers. Couldn't be easier.
LWOSK5FKR: The results were very quick and provided very clear directions about steps required to fix your lawn.
