Cost more than state extension services but recommended nutrients for amending each plot’s soil is based on the WH seed to be planted. I was able to compare last years soil test to recent one and could see improvements in PH and other nutrients. I custom mix each plot’s fertilizer requirements that saves on the costs. Very fast results by email per plot.

I planted my seed weeks ago and used triple 17 as the fertilizer as per the instructions from the soil sample company. I have watered the area every other day since then and can report that NOT ONE SEED has germinated as of this morning. I'm very disappointed in this product and now it's too close to deer season to try another company.

I got the soil test and didn’t get the best results for my soil. That being said . I had a great experience with the people at the labs. They gave me the info I need to improve my soil. I also appreciate the honesty and not just trying to sell me some products until I get my soil were it needs to be. I plan on buying some products in spring after I do what they suggest and hopefully have a great plot for fall.
