A simple but effective test that measures your soil’s pH and three key nutrients needed for healthy plant growth — phosphate, potash, and magnesium.

Balanced nutrients and the right pH are vital for strong roots, vibrant flowers, and healthy foliage. If your soil is too acidic or alkaline, plants may struggle to take up nutrients, even when they’re present.

Your results will be individually assessed, with practical advice on how to improve your soil using organic (compost or manure) and inorganic (fertiliser) options.

This test offers a cost-effective way to understand and enhance your garden soil. In most cases, re-testing is only needed every 2–3 years.

Get a complete picture of your garden’s health with this detailed soil test. It measures 12 essential nutrients, along with your soil’s pH and cation exchange capacity (CEC) — which shows how well your soil holds onto nutrients.

The results give a clear view of which nutrients are low, high, or out of balance, helping you create the best conditions for strong, healthy plants and beautiful gardens.

Each report is individually assessed, with straightforward recommendations to improve your soil — including organic (compost or manure) and inorganic (fertiliser) options.

The ultimate soil health check for dedicated gardeners. This comprehensive test looks at your soil’s chemical, physical, and biological properties to give a complete picture of its condition and growing potential.

Chemical:
We measure 12 key nutrients, plus pH and cation exchange capacity (CEC) — showing how well your soil holds onto nutrients. The results highlight any nutrients that are low, high, or out of balance, helping you create the best environment for strong, healthy plants.

Physical:
We analyse your soil’s texture — the mix of sand, silt, clay, and organic matter — and test bulk density, which indicates compaction. This tells you how easily water, air, and roots can move through the soil.

Biological:
We assess CO₂ respiration and microbial activity to show how biologically active your soil is — a key sign of soil life and fertility. You’ll also receive an estimate of how much nitrogen your soil can naturally release.

This advanced test gives you a comprehensive view of your soil’s health, along with a clear soil assessment score. With this knowledge, you can confidently manage and improve your garden soil for thriving plants, lawns, and borders.
