Soil Test
Optimum plant growth depends on the presence of 3 “Essential Nutrients” (N, P and K) in the soil. But many lawns and gardens do not contain sufficient levels of these nutrients. At the same time, acidic or alkaline soil can prevent the uptake of nutrients even when N, P and K are present in abundance.
Nutrient deficiency symptoms do not need to be visible before degradation in plants quality can occur. Even lawns showing no obvious signs of deficiency can be suffering from inadequate nutrition.
Plants that are under nourished are more susceptible to disease and insect infestation. Healthy plants that receive an adequate and balanced supply of nutrients are better able to respond rapidly and effectively to pathogens and insects with natural defense mechanisms.
The C-I-L ® Soil Test Kit is a simple "do it yourself" kit for taking the guesswork out of gardening.
Test for soil fertility and pH to determine the current growing condition of your soil.
NO NEED TO WAIT WEEKS FOR MAIL-IN SERVICES! Get your results the same day you test.
