If you can use a smartphone, you can conduct a scientific soil test. SoilKit will geolocate your property, calculate the size of your lawn/garden and maintain an online history of your results.
SoilKit provides all the supplies needed for a quick and easy soil sample. Your soil will be tested by one of the nation’s leading agricultural labs. We process the lab report and provide easy-to-understand results with soil treatment recommendations to keep your lawn and garden healthy.
Healthy lawns and gardens start with a scientific soil test – but you shouldn’t need an advanced degree to understand what your test means. That’s why your SoilKit results include both a detailed read-out of your soil’s composition and expert recommendations of the products and quantities needed. With your results in hand, you can work with your garden center or online lawn care shop to ensure you’re on the way to success with your soil.[/vc_column_text]Buy a SoilKit[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”30″ bg_type=”bg_color” bg_override=”full” bg_color_value=”#e0ede7″ css=”.vc_custom_1647998569829{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}” el_id=”why”][vc_column width=”1/2″][ultimate_heading main_heading=”WHY SOIL TESTING?” alignment=”left” main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:20px;”][/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text]75% of homeowners are dissatisfied with their lawns. What they don’t realize is that great lawns and gardens start with healthy soil—and healthy soil starts with a SoilKit test. Like a blood test, a lab-based soil test measures nutrient levels in your soil and, based on decades of research on crop nutrient requirements, determines the exact amount of each that a specific crop needs for optimal growth. The total amount of each nutrient you need depends on the size of your growing area.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”277″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”30″ bg_type=”image” parallax_style=”vcpb-default” bg_image_new=”id^1468|url^https://soilkit-dev.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Dot_Patterntop200px.png|caption^null|alt^null|title^Dot_Patterntop200px|description^null” bg_image_posiiton=”0px, -40px” bg_override=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1647998577115{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}” el_id=”how”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1647961785698{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1649355393035{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;}”]

CARBON METER
[/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text]
AgriTech is developing a carbon meter to calculate and track how much carbon your lawn or garden captures.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”30″][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
Did you know a healthy lawn can produce the oxygen needs for a family of four?
Photosynthesis and respiration are the best natural systems for using and storing carbon in a form that does not contribute to climate change.
What actions can you take today?
Limit tilling, leave mowed grass clippings, reduce soil disturbance, and most importantly, test your soil and monitor your organic matter. These are all great ways to contribute to environmentally healthy lawn practices.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1469″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”30″][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”921″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1647963663198{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
Join our “Show Us Your Sticker!” campaign!
Soil contains more than FOUR TIMES the amount of carbon than all vegetation combined. Improving soil health is one of the best ways to improve plant health and productivity which in turn sequesters more carbon in the form of soil organic carbon in soil.
We encourage you to participate and share our positive efforts toward climate change with our carbon stickers*!
We want to see how far our kits and grassy toes stickers can travel! Send us a photo of where your grassy toes sticker ended up by posting to our social media or sending us your picture to photos@soilkit.com!
Help us educate people about the power of healthy soil and a productive lawn or garden and make a difference one user at a time!
*Stay tuned on how to get your sticker![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”faq”][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” el_width=”60″ accent_color=”#e0ede7″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Larger areas may require more than one test kit, and problem areas should be tested separately from otherwise healthy areas.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”What makes SoilKit different from other versions of soil testing?”][vc_column_text]After years of listening to customers describe their experiences with traditional soil testing options, we understand the frustration customers endure when they don’t know where to find their local extension office or a private lab, don’t have the time to drive to the facility, don’t have time to figure out postage, are intimidated by a commonly misunderstood registration form, and are surprised with test results that don’t make sense to the average homeowner or gardener.
We created SoilKit to alleviate these frustrations. Kits can be purchased online, in several lawn and garden shops, and are now offered at Alabama Cooperative Extension System offices. The registration process is automated using scanning and satellite technology and processed online on desktop or mobile devices. The postage-paid mailer can be dropped into your mailbox and is pre-labeled. The results arrive digitally via email within 1-2 business days of receipt at our labs. The report includes easy-to-understand recommendations distilled down the products and bag quantities needed for your crop, size of growing area, and type of crop.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][/vc_accordion][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1649277425194{padding-top: 30px !important;}”]For more FAQ’s, visit our blog[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
