Soil Testing

Soil tests are like a “blood test” for soil, offering valuable insights into its health. They are an affordable way to maintain plant health in urban areas and optimize productivity in nurseries, gardens, and fruit crops. Based on test results, recommendations can save time and money while preventing excessive fertilizer use, protecting the environment. Soil tests also aid in plant selection and contribute to diagnostics. Don't Guess Soil Test!
