For perennials (especially shrubs, vegetables and fruit), the sample should be taken 10cm deep. Do not touch the soil with your hands. Test in several places, as the soil composition is often not the same everywhere due to previous cultivation, underlying differences in the soil layer or a special circumstance at the location. It is better to carry out separate tests with several samples from different places rather than mixing the samples together. Place your soil sample in a clean container. Spread the sample with a trowel or spoon and allow it to dry naturally. This is not essential, but it makes working with the sample easier. Remove any small stones, organic matter such as grass, weeds or roots and hard lime particles. Then crumble the sample and mix it well.pH TEST1. Put the dry crumbled soil in a test tube up to the 1 ml mark. Add a level spoon of barium sulphate.2.Add the pH test solution up to the 2,5 ml mark. Close the tube with the cap.3. Shake the tube well.4. Set the tube down and let it sit for about 5 minutes. If the solution takes too long to settle, add another level spoonful of barium sulfate and shake again. Compare the color of the test tube with the colors on the pH measurement chart to read the result.N, P AND K TESTSThe filter device and filter disks are used for the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium tests to filter these nutrients from the soil sample.PHASE 1: PREPARING THE FILTER DEVICEUnscrew the green cap of the device and remove the piston. Place a filter disk in the bottom of the piston and ensure that the disk fits and seals properly by using the end of the spoon.NOTE: If the soil contains a lot of clay, or the solution is too cloudy to filter, use two filter discs on top of each other.PHASE 2: FILTERING THE NUTRIENTS1. Fill the filter device reservoir with your dry and crumbled soil sample to the required level: N to 1 ml, P to 0,5 ml and K to 0,5 ml.2. Add the appropriate test solutions: N Test = add N1 solution to the 2,5 ml mark, P Test = add P1 solution to the 2 ml mark, K Test = add K1 solution to the 2 ml mark.3. Push the plunger a little way into the cylinder of the filter device and shake gently for 30 seconds. Slowly push the plunger down until it just touches the soil/test solution in the reservoir (so don't push too far).4. Place the cap on the filter device and screw the cap on slowly until you see the solution filtering from the reservoir into the piston. You may feel a strong resistance as it filters. Holding the filter device at a 45 degree angle instead of upright will reduce the resistance.5. When there is enough filtered solution in the plunger, unscrew the cap of the filter device and pour the solution from the plunger into a test tube up to the 1 ml mark. Complete the test with the specific instructions for N, P and K (found below).NITROGEN (N) TESTAdd a level spoonful of N2 powder. Close the test tube and shake gently for 10 seconds. Let the tube stand undisturbed for 5 minutes. Check the result of your measurement by holding the test tube against the nitrogen measurement card provided.PHOSPHORUS (P) TESTAdd ½ level spoon of P2 powder. Stopper the test tube and immediately measure the color by placing the tube on the circle next to the phosphorus comparison chart. Look down through the tube from above.Place the tubes on the circles next to the comparison cards, and look through the tubes from above (see image) for the phosphorus and potassium test values (not the nitrogen test value).POTASSIUM (K) TESTNow add 0,5 ml of the K2 solution. Let the tube stand undisturbed for 5 minutes before taking a measurement. The solution will show some degree of cloudiness, depending on the amount of potassium present. Place the test tube on the circles printed next to the black and dotted rectangles on the potassium measurement card. First place the tube on the upper black box K4 (= Excess). Look down through the tube from above. Then move the tube down on the circles until one of the boxes on the potassium measurement card is just visible. That box is the result of your potassium measurement.INCREASING OR LOWERING THE pH OF YOUR SOILRaising and lowering pH is not an exact science and most plants have a fairly wide tolerance within 0,5 pH points above and 0,5 pH points below the ideal pH. Consult the pH preference chart and you will see that the majority of plants can do well at a pH of around 6,5. Some plants require alkaline soil and some acidic soil. Changing pH takes time so don’t expect rapid changes. Work steadily towards an ideal value to provide your plant with the ideal conditions.ADJUSTING THE SOIL pHThe pH can be adjusted to provide more suitable growing conditions for the various plants you wish to grow. You can also choose to leave the soil pH as it is and select plants that match the measured pH. Once you have measured your pH, refer to the pH preference chart below (or search online) for the ideal pH level for your lawn, plants, trees, shrubs, vegetables or fruits. If your pH level is significantly different from the recommended levels, you will need to adjust the pH of your soil. You can adjust the pH at any time of the year, but the best time to start is in the fall and check your progress in the spring. Products that increase pH include limestone products and hydrated lime. Products that decrease pH include iron sulfate and aluminum sulfate. These products are available at specialty garden stores.Warning: Never add lime and fertilizer at the same time. Start with lime. Wait at least 1 month before adding fertilizers. Test again 1 month after applying fertilizers.SOIL TYPESSandy soil: A light, coarse soil consisting of crumbled and alluvial debris.Loam soil: A medium friable soil, consisting of a mixture of coarse (sandy) alluvium and fine (clay) particles within fairly wide limits mixed with a little lime and humus.Clay soil: A heavy, adhesive, impermeable soil, consisting of very fine particles with little lime and humus, which is often boggy in winter and very dry in summer.FERTILIZER RECOMMENDATIONSSufficient reserves of plant nutrients must be available in the soil before planting vegetables, preparing a seed or flower bed, sowing a lawn, or planting shrubs and trees. To correct any deficiencies, add fertilizer based on your test results. Products can be purchased from a specialty garden store to increase N, P, and K levels.SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LAWNWhen starting a new lawn, pay particular attention to soil preparation before sowing or laying turf rolls. Proper soil preparation for any lawn will have a significant impact on the amount of water and care it will need in the future. Work the soil to a depth of at least 30cm and incorporate plenty of organic matter (20cm or more). Test your soil pH and adjust it first to the level recommended on the pH preference list for your grass species. Compare the pH colour chart with your soil pH test for recommended lime or sulphate applications. For established lawns, nitrogen is the most essential nutrient to promote lush growth and a deep, green colour. Phosphorus and potassium, in smaller amounts, are also important for strong root formation and growth. Compound fertilisers contain all 3 nutrients. You can also select an individual fertiliser such as nitrate or soda.SAFETY & HYGIENEAll liquids and powders are safe when used correctly. Keep out of reach of children and animals, and make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after each test. In case of swallowing, drink plenty of water and seek medical advice immediately. Keep liquids and powders away from food and drink.CLEANING AND STORAGEIt is important to rinse all test tubes and the filter device in warm soapy water immediately after each test. Rinse well and wait until the tubes and filter device are dry. The kit should be stored in a clean and dry environment, preferably in a closed container. Make sure that all vials are tightly closed and that the storage conditions are not subject to extreme heat or cold. Once opened, the liquids and powder should be used within a period of twelve months. The filter paper must remain dry!FINDING THE IDEAL PH VALUESee the pH preference list on our website or search for your plant's ideal pH value online. -
