Product Detail

A broad spectrum soil test for vegetables will tell you exactly what your vegetable plot requires to produce a healthy crop. Getting your soil pH and fertilising levels right will really increase your harvest, but knowing where you are starting from is vitally important.

Not only will getting the levels right help your vegetables grow, but it means you can target exactly what they need. So less time wasted and money spent on products that may not be needed.

All our soil analyses are individually reviewed and interpreted by our in-house fertiliser experts who then produce a tailored report. Once the report is finalised we will send it back you and give you a call - to take you through your results, make sure you understand it and discussing any actions that you may need to take as a result of the analysis.

How does a vegetable soil analysis work?

  • Once you've placed your order we'll send over a soil sample bag and addressed pre-paid envelope.
  • A number of soil samples should then be taken from different areas of the plot that you want analysing.
  • Once the back is a least half full, post back your soil to the laboratory for analysis.
  • Results are generally available in around 10 working days after posting to the laboratory.
  • If you would like your results interpreted by one of our FACTS qualified technical advisors, please get in touch via email or phone to request this.

Note: Please include the white A5 sheet with your soil sample, the invoice is for your records. Unfortunately without the white A5 sheet, the laboratory cannot process your analysis.

Not all crops require the same nutrients so this is where the benefit of a soil analysis targeted at a specific crop can really come in. There are far more analysis that can be done so if you can't see the one you what you want please contact us as we may be able to help.

Elements analysed are:

  • Phosphate
  • Potassium
  • Magnesium
  • Calcium
  • Sulphur
  • Sodium
  • Manganese
  • Copper
  • Iron
  • Zinc
  • Molybdenum
  • Boron

The soil pH and cation exchange capacity are also indicated. Information on virtually all plants and crops requirements are held on the database and can be compared with healthy levels.

* Always follow the Usage guide and Aftercare advice
  • Take samples from as many points in the area (field, lawn, flower bed etc) to be analysed.
  • Work in a W shape taking samples across the area, this will give a good overall analysis.
  • Fill the bag up until it's half full - not enough soil will mean that the tests won't be able to be run in full.
  • Soil samples should not be taken within 3 - 5 days of spraying pesticides or foliar nutrients.

After using Soil Analysis for Growing Garden Vegetables, follow all label recommendations, clean equipment thoroughly, and monitor the treated area to ensure the product has performed as expected. Soil samples should not be taken within 3 - 5 days of spraying pesticides or foliar nutrients.

What is Soil Analysis for Vegetables used for?
This vegetable soil testing kit checks pH and nutrient levels so you can see what your soil needs and give your crops the best chance to grow strongly and productively.
How does a soil test work?
Once you place your order we send a sample bag and prepaid envelope, you take small samples from across your plot until the bag is half full, post it to the laboratory for analysis and our FACTS qualified advisors then interpret the results and create a tailored fertiliser plan, usually within around ten working days.
When is the best time to take a soil sample?
The best time depends on what you are testing for, although nutrient samples are usually taken in autumn or early spring, pH and salinity can be checked whenever the ground is not frozen and suspected contamination should be sampled as soon as it is identified.
