All though not having had soil samples tested by a lab it is impossible to say how accurate it is.

I used this test multiple times on my garden soil and followed the directions. It didn't matter how much amendment I added to my soil it still showed 0 Nitrogen present. The other tests showed variations as I amended the soil and seemed to work.Test was easy to use.

As an avid gardener, I rely heavily on the accuracy of my soil's pH levels to ensure my plants thrive. This pH soil test kit has been an absolute game changer for me. It's incredibly easy to use, just mix soil with water and add the testing solution. Within minutes, the color-coded results guide me in adjusting the soil's acidity or alkalinity as needed.The kit is compact and comes with clear instructions, making it suitable for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike. Plus, the results are reliable and consistent, which is crucial when nurturing delicate plants.If you're serious about gardening or even just curious about your soil's health, I highly recommend this pH soil test kit. It's affordable, efficient, and a must-have in any gardener's toolkit.

The test kit didn’t include any information on what to add the soil when you are low on something. However, it was fairly easy to use. Were hoping the results were accurate.

If you have taken a chemistry class, the testing is fairly routine but does require attention to details. My soil took several days, not 24 hours, to settle out in the test tube provided and the settled clear water available was not enough to do all 4 tests. The tests i did were PH, Phosphorous and Potassium. The PH was 7 which is good but both P and K were high on the color table. The reason i was testing is because plants in my garden boxes suddenly lost vigor and stopped growing when they had been growing vigorously. It seems i don't have a deficiency but instead have high levels of P and K. what the kit does not provide is instructions on how to use the results?

Great product that was fairly quick. The dirt for the test tubes has to be fairly fine in order for the test to work properly. It also takes a long time for the dirt and water to separate. It would be nice if the guide had indications whether the results were good/bad etc. Overall great.

There are several different types of soil tests and a lot are really expensive and I’m on a limited budget. I found this kit scrolling through Amazon so I wanted to give it a go! The kit gives you over 120 tests and the results came in less than one hour!As an amateur gardener and flower lover, this was the perfect thing! This kit you get reagents for Potassium, Phosphorus Nitrogen and soil PH. There are instructions included on how to test for each one, which were easy to follow. Just to make sure I did it right, I also used the video on the page, super helpful!!The basic steps, which I used were:1) Fill the big vile that comes with the kit about a inch high with dirt2) Get some filtered water and then fill with water.3)Shake it to combine4) Let sit for 30 minutes.5) The kit has a dropper with sucks a bit of the water out. I did that and put it in the small tiny tube which came with the kit.6) Let it sit for a minute after and compared to the provided chart and see the results!(Make sure you clean the test tubes after each use or you might get faulty results)Honestly, I’d you follow the instructions you’ll be able to see the results. I used the results to help my garden and saw massive improvements in my flowerbeds! I was able to pick a beautiful bouquet for my table.This test doesn’t give you a specific number but definitely gave me the test results I needed to see some improvement. My overall summary is this kit was cost effective and helped me get the results I needed! I highly recommend.

First of all, this product contains 3 different sets of instructions, and they don't agree with each other. To test the soil, all 3 sets of instructions say to put 2mL of water from the main test tube into the smaller tube, along with 0.2mL of reagent. The smaller tubes only hold at most 0.5mL in total, so regardless of which set of instructions you follow, it's impossible to get the correct ratio of test solution to reagent.To make it even worse, the instructions say to put about 1 inch of soil with 10mL of water into the main tube. This is also impossible; the tube doesn't hold that much.It's is impossible to follow the instructions as written, which makes the results extremely questionable. I tried guessing at the correct amount of test solution and reagent based on the video included on the product page. I got no discernible reaction for any of the tests. Unless the seller significantly revises the instructions, this product is completely useless at best, and gives wildly inaccurate results at worst.
