Common questions

How do I collect my sample?

Collect soil from 6–10 spots within the area you're testing (0–6 inches deep), mix them together, and fill the sample bag with about 3 cups. Takes around 5 minutes — full instructions are included in your kit.

How many tests do I need?

One sample represents a uniform area of up to 5,000 sq. ft. — roughly an average front or back yard. Areas with different soil or different uses (a lawn vs. a vegetable garden) should be tested separately.

How long does it take?

You'll receive your report 3–5 business days after your sample arrives at the lab. A prepaid shipping label is included — drop the sealed bag at any USPS location or just put it in your mailbox.

What exactly do I get back?

A digital report in plain English: your pH, nutrient levels, organic matter, and salinity explained, plus a custom prescription with both organic and conventional amendment options — exactly what to apply, how much, and when.
