Comprehensive Soil Health Testing

Our Comprehensive Soil Health Testing integrates physical, biological, and chemical aspects of your soil, creating a holistic ecological picture of what's happening in your soil. This level of testing is great for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of what's happening in the soil, whether it's:

• Tracking changes and improvements from landscape design, maintenance techniques, farming methods, soil amendments, compost methods
• Troubleshooting specific issues such as germination challenges, pest and disease problems, stunted growth, chlorosis, abnormal plant growth, poor flowering or fruiting
• Documenting specific ecological indicators such as carbon sequestration, water infiltration and retention, microbial and mineral interactions, etc.

Whatever the issue is, we can provide a customized solution using minerals, microbes, soil blends and extracts, or design interventions.

This package includes on-site consultation, soil sampling plan, test results analysis, and a detailed analytical report bringing all of the results together to provide customized recommendations that can improve ecological functioning in your soil. We will also provide a follow-up call to go over the results and recommendations with you.

For best results, we recommend conducting this test at least 2 times per year to document improvements on site.
