In this video I will demonstrate how to accurately test your garden soil three different ways and compare the results of home test kits to a professional laboratory soil analysis.

From one scientist to another, when you are adding drops from a reagent dropper bottle, it is important to hold the bottle vertically as they fall. Holding it sideways or at an angle breaks the surface tension of the drop early, giving you less accurate results because the entire "drop" did not form before falling

Thanks Rick! That makes perfect sense and I’ll definitely keep this valuable tip in mind in the future.

Just a small point on colour-matching. Be sure to do this outside in daylight, and not indoors using electric light bulbs. That's because electric light bulbs will give false colours - depending upon the type of electric bulbs you have - which would affect the accuracy of your colour-matching. You'd see more yellow or blue with electric bulbs compared with natural sunlight (something known as colour temperature). This is particularly relevant if you're testing in the darker days early in the year or looking to test for indoor plants or in an artificially lit potting shed or greenhouse.

@justincentraltexas 3 жыл бұрын

I didn't thumbs down it, but this video does imply that taking a soil sample to your local ag office for real lab testing is expensive.. He seems like he is doing the KZfaq as a job thing by only referencing products he can help sell by name, get a commission by providing a link, or future ad money, note he never said by name the company he sent his soil sample off to as that wouldn't make him any money. By saying it was the most expensive and "showing" home tests he gets a commission off you buying were fairly accurate. It's common sense that this man is an entertainer by trade because of his presentation, but most people don't realize that because KZfaq has alot of genuine educational videos. He is fun to watch for sure. I work in a laboratory and trust me the real smart people are not entertaining fun characters 99.999999% of the time. Also color comparison tests like this are garbage for soooo many reasons. You can attempt to prove your home tests accuracy by using duplicates and standards though which he did not choose to do. At very least doing a blank with distilled water only along with these tests would have made the video more interesting as the lab has to do those things to prove the accuracy of the tests.

Thanks for testing with the three tests and the recommendation. Instead of amending the soil, consider looking into regenerative farming. I was introduced via KZfaq to Gabe Brown. My husband and I are learning to restore natural process back to the soil on our small farm. These natural processes replenish nutrients, improve water absorbance and retention, and reduce runoff. Happy Farming.

Hey guys just so you know the leafLuster rapitest is actually a very good test for the money it costs. If you try HomeDepot they actually have the leafLuster rapitest bulk package that actually carry’s 40 tests in one package which is 10 x tests per nutrient :10PH Alk/Ac -10Nitrogen -10K potassium/potash -10Phosphorus It has 10 each of the colored tablets a dropper and 4 separate testing containers that look a lot like tic-tac- containers. There is a guide table for all levels of nutrients for certain vegetables/flowers etc. The cardboard packaging doubles as a pin up information guide for everything soil nutrient/ tips for growth etc. Hope this helps….It costs 14.99 at Home Depot. I’m sure you can find it at Lowe’s, Ace Hardware, and maybe even at your local nurseries although this guy did say he purchased the one in the video at a nursery, so they might carry the bulk package with multiple tests.
