I gave this kit to my husband for his 90th birthday as he loves box gardening, but has little luck so l thought this kit would assist him in finally being able to have a great harvest! Won’t really be able to give an honest review until he uses in the Spring!Sharleen L

I bought this because I was interested to know what stuff is in my soil for my lawn. I’m a lawn nerd and want to make my yard embarrass my neighbors cus I take pride in how it looks. A well maintained yard is not only attractive, but it drastically increases the appeal when you go to sell the house. Besides it’s nice to get outside and do some work.The Mysoil kit is amazing. I’m a huge fan. It’s pretty simple. When the kit arrives, open up. First things first, it will instruct you (after reading through the instructions) to register the kit onto their website. Website is very easy to use and simple to register. Then you take whatever tool you want to go collect soil samples from your testing sites. If you’re doing a lawn, spread your collection sites around randomly. You can collect samples in various different ways. The easiest is to use an expensive soil plug. You push it into the ground 6” deep, pull it out, and drop the plug into a bucket/container. Other methods include using a shovel. I chose to use a cheap easy route and got a 9” long 2” diameter auger but for my cordless drill. It’s simple, drill into the ground and collect the dirt. Take all the samples and put them in the same container, mix all the samples together very well. You do not need a lot of dirt so your samples can be quite small. Once your samples are blended thoroughly into one large sample, go back to the kit. The kit comes with a little water vial and a scoop. Peel off the seal gently on the vial and unscrew the cap. Use the scoop to scoop up your blended sample. You can either pack it a little bit, or keep the dirt loose. I packed mine gently to make sure they could get a good reading. Pour the scoop into the vial and put the lid back on and put the seal in its place.The box does not say if you need to shake vial or not. I choose to do so. Then put vial in the prepaid envelope that’s already addressed to the company. It is imperative that you send the vial sample to them within 24 hours of putting the scoop of dirt into the vial of water. If you do not, the sample sent in can/will be ruined.I was surprised by how long the shipping took, I assumed it was priority mail, not regular ground shipping. It took about a week and a half after mailing for the results to be posted on their website. The amazing part is how much information they give you. PH, minerals, contaminates, excesses, and requirements based on easy to read graphics and words. Mysoil will make you recommendations as to what fertilizer types to put down. They recommend brands, fertilizer contents, and if you need a nutrient that you can’t get in a fertilizer (like lime), then they recommend that too. It’s super simple. Their website even explains about all the nutrients and how it works. It’s totally worth the money.

The test itself is easy to use. I’m not too sure what to do with the results. I wish there had been better recommendations about how to fix the deficiencies in my soil.

It was easy to use. You take the scoop and go to the designated areas in your yard to pull the samples. One done, you put them in a small container with a solution, send off. They give you the updates on tracking so you’ll know when it’s received. Once reviewed, it’s gives you the number of soil for alkalinity or acidity, and the product recommendations for the soil, and where you can buy, even from Amazon. I was looking for a more in detail analysis, but for that it’s best to use one from you local extension in your state. Overall, it’s not a bad buy.

I had been trying for several years to have a decent looking lawn in my back yard. I spent hundreds of dollars on grass seed, water, and fertilizer only for it to germinate and die within a month or so. I finally decided that something had to be wrong with my soil and ordered this kit.The sampling process is very simple, and the instructions are clear. Everything you need is included in the kit, including a pre-paid envelop to return the sample which is super convenient. I have used this kit twice now, and both were positive experiences. The shipping from the East Coast to Washington State is very fast, and the lab processes the sample and posts results quickly. The results are very easy to interpret and the product/application rate recommendations to fix your soil are a big help.Without using this test kit, I would never have known how acidic, nitrogen deficient, and iron deficient (among several other reported issues) my soil was. I actually had way too much potassium in my soil, so using typical fertilizers to raise the nitrogen would have made this even worse. I followed MySoil's recommendations and transformed my backyard from a weedy dirt patch to a lush green healthy lawn. This kit is money well spent.
