Here’s how the My Soil test kit works: Dig up some soil from the area you want to plant, and send it off for a professional laboratory test. The kit provides all you need, including a scoop to ensure the right amount of soil is collected. Test results are prompt and easy to understand, allowing you to make the recommended changes to your soil. (MySoil sends along personalized information to help.)
“I thought I was taking good care of my lawn, water two times per week, fertilize two times per summer, mow weekly,” writes five-star reviewer, Rick Crouch. “Tests results showed my lawn was below the acceptable range in all nutrients except calcium, which was three times what it should be (due to excessive amounts of limestone) and high pH. I am now taking an aggressive action to amend the compacted clay soil with core aeration, applying compost top dressing and following the recommended guidelines for fertilizer applications at the rate to get my stressed lawn healthy. I should have done this 15 years ago. Lawn is looking much better after eight weeks.”
