The Benefits of Soil Testing
- Takes advantage of nutrients already in the soil
- Identifies nutrients that are lacking, or are excessive in the soil
- Reduces fertiliser costs by applying only what is needed
- Provides an accurate balance of plant nutrients
- Adjusts soil pH to an optimum level
- Reduces chances of excess nutrients getting into water sources
- More environmentally friendly to Soil Test than to guess which fertilisers to use
The value of a laboratory soil test is only as good as the sample that is tested. Wise Earth brings you a simple DO-IT-YOURSELF Soil Test Tool, designed to give you accurate soil samples every bit as reliable as those taken by a professional.
Healthy Soil - Healthy Animals - Healthy Crops
TheWise Eearth Soil Test Kit includes the following:
- The "Dirt Dagger" Soil Test Tool and simple instructions on how to do a good soil sampling job.
- A soil bag for each test needed. (Different soil types or topography may need separate tests.)
- A soil analysis request form to tell the laboratory which test is needed.
- A preaddressed and prepaid postage bag to get the sample to the laboratory.
- A prepaid test of your soil by Hill Laboratories, Hamilton, the largest soil laboratory in New Zealand. The results are sent to you by your favoured method. (Email, fax or post.)
- A phone based explanation about the results and independent professional advice on what to do next. This advise will be according to your soil test results, your preferred fertilizer type, (conventional, organic etc) and your budget to give the best return on the fertiliser dollar spent.
- An "on the ground" cost quotation of the agreed fertiliser and/or lime program. We will then arrange the supply and application of your "Custom Blended Mix" by your local spreader in the best way possible. (Bulk trucks, Quad Bike Contractors or bagged so you can spread yourself.)
