soilHaving a true understanding of what your soil or growing media contains is an essential part of being a successful grower. Knowing your soil pH levels and the nutrient balance are key to success or failure.

You could of course purchase your own Soil Test Kit but if you feel you want a more professional approach, why not let a commercial lab carry out your Soil Testing and Analysis. GrowMad have brought together the best Soil Testing facilities. We've listed all the suppliers alphabetically on the left, with our recommendations to the right.
