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 purchase is for a soil test only. It is a Brookside Soil Test which is conducted in the US.
It does not include analysis or interpretation of that test.
You will receive:
1) A one page soil test from Brookside but it will not include any analysis or recommendations. The one page soil test will be accompanied by a short email (one paragraph) pointing out the main deficiencies or highlights.
Please note:
You will probably need to have an understanding of the Brookside Lab tests to read the test results as the different labs use different testing methods. If you require analysis or some recommendations too, perhaps consider purchasing our “Soil Test and Analysis package.”
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.
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!
Small print:
1) This soil test does not include sampling. You will need to supply the soil sample to us.
2) If you would like to sample different areas, you will need to invest in a few tests. Taking soil samples from various areas results in an average of results.
3) 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 you get your Soil Test within the timeframe.
