In Agriculture, everything starts with a soil test. In order to figure out how much fertilizer they need to buy, Farmers first take a soil sample and send it to a laboratory for testing. 

 

Not only does a soil test indicate the available N-P-K of your soil, but it can also help you to detect problems with pH, possible micronutrient deficiencies, and other soil properties such as Organic Matter % and Cation Exchange Capacity. 

 

All of these soil factors greatly influence how much you get out of your soil. For some people, it can save a lot of money on nutrients, by showing that there are plenty of nutrients available in the soil, and for others, it can help them to find and correct a deficiency, or at least recognize that there is a problem with their soil. 

 

We can help you with this process. If you are an outdoor grower, we would recommend ordering a soil test, so that we can better provide a recommendation on nutrient additions and/or soil amendments to make your grows more successful.
