The LaMotte Garden Soil Test Kit provides quick and accurate analysis of the pH, Potassium, Phosphorus, and Nitrogen levels in soil. Knowing the composition of your soil has many benefits for the home gardener, including:
- Develops a baseline for healthy soil that allows you to address any changes that occur that could affect productivity.
- Helps to protect plants by making informed decisions on the use of fertilizers. Too much of the wrong fertilizer can be toxic to plants; this kit allows you to use only what you need.
- Allows you to monitor soil conditions throughout the growing season to avoid or address changes brought on by disease, drought and intense weather conditions.
- Saves money by reducing or eliminating unnecessary soil inputs, like fertilizers or nutrients.
- Provides a thriving garden that produces top-quality, bountiful plants for you to enjoy.
This easy-to-use kit comes with all the accessories required to get the results you need:
- Graduated test tubes and scoops to easily measure the soil sample and reagents.
- A laminated color chart to compare your results to.
- Garden Guide Manual with easy to understand illustrated instructions in English, Spanish, and French.
- pH Preference Guide that covers over 600 plants, trees, and shrubs.
