$150 (Brookside soil test) + $175 consultancy = $325
This product is available year-round. Please note that timings are subject to change depending on availability of our Soil Scientist (e.g. holidays). Our Soil Scientist is Jake who runs his own consultancy now but spent several years at Environmental Fertilisers on soil testing, soil structure management and sustainable nutrient programmes.
This is a package that includes:
A soil test + analysis of that soil test/ some initial recommendations for soil amendments.
You will receive the following three things:
1) A Brookside Soil Test
2) A one page document which includes an analysis of your soil test - an overview of what it all means, key highlights, plus some recommendations on amendments.
3) a 45 minute Zoom call at 6.30pm, Mon to Wed to answer any questions

About the Soil Test:
You will need to send a soil sample to Hamilton (we will not collect the soil sample for you). At the outset, we consult with you on how you can take an accurate soil sample. You send this to us and we then get a Brookside (US based) soil test done for you. It will take 3-4 weeks to get your soil test back once we have received your sample in Hamilton. We will then endeavor to get you your one page document with recommendations within a week, so factor in 4 to 5 weeks in total for this option, from receipt of your sample. We will always try to do it in the quickest timeframe possible.
Why do we use Brookside tests in the US as opposed to other local tests, eg Hills Test?
We really recommend doing a soil test through Brookside. It's different from Hills as it looks at more regenerative farming practices. It's generally the test you go for if you care about soil structure and long-term fertility, and it is laid out to help you understand soil ratios and partnerships within the soil a little better. Being based in the US seems counter-intuitive but it is actually worth the little more time it takes to get the results. In our Soil Workshops, we had attendees bring Hills, Brookside and Eurofinns and we all felt we could get the most useful, reliable info from Brookside. However, it’s like parenting - lots of views and very subjective!
Notes:
1) This is not an in-person meeting. It is a soil test + document of analysis/ recommendations + a Zoom call.
2) If a further follow up call/ email is requested, this will be charged at $100 for 45 minutes, or $75 for an email.
Small print:
The Brookside test is done in the US and so we cannot be held liable for delays in postage but we will do our utmost to ensure we get you your analysis within the timeframe listed above. You have 2 months to set up your call with us once the initial written recommendations have been sent, otherwise you forfeit that part of the consultation. This is to ensure that you receive the right analysis within an appropriate timeframe for that particular soil test.
