"With an Organic Gardening Soil Test, The Grass Is Greener On Your Own Side Of The Fence"
With an Organic Gardening soil test – You become the expert! You will have all the information you need to provide for all the plants in your garden is right at your fingertips.
Find out exactly what your garden needs
Successful gardening depends on providing exactly what each type of plant needs. To do this, you need a method for working out the ‘what’, ‘when’ and ‘how much’ of the choices you make. The Complete Garden Soil test measures everything you need to improve your garden in an easy-to-read, 9-page full color report.
Soil is provides the environment in which plants grow. More than just anchorage against the wind, plants need easy root access, moisture air, biological associations and nutrients.
So the Organic Gardening soil test has 3 separate sets of tests, desirable levels and recommendations: One each for: Soil friability, Plant nutrition and Soil biology.
Improve your garden by first improving your Soil
There is more to productive and sustainable farming than just fertilizer. This only provides for the mineral nutrients that plants require.
Instead of pouring on more and more fertilizer, the Organic Gardening soil test will show you what is needed to provide for All your plants’ needs.
Providing for the needs of all your plants
This soil test is unique in giving you the flexibility to adjust your plans or choose different options.
Choose up to three plant types
for each report to make comparisons or plan a crop rotation in your vegetable garden. The choices include:
Lawns
Trees and shrubs
Flower beds
Leafy vegetables
Root vegetables
Fruiting vegetables
Pome fruits (apples, pears, etc.)
Stone fruits (peaches, plums, etc.)
Plus (if needed) a database of more than 200 specific varieties to choose from (such as azalea, tomato chestnut, etc.)
And you don’t need any special training or technical skills. Everything on the report is easy to read and there is plenty of back-up support available. Simply choose at least one of the first nine options on the list above and then add two others (either the general groups above or specific varieties.
The Organic Gardening soil test report then gives you detailed information for each of your three choices (additional reports are available if you need more than 3).
The Most Reliable Soil Management System
A soil test is only as good as the system used to interpret the results and convert them into appropriate actions.
Test results presented in the Organic Gardening soil test report are interpreted using the Mikhail System. This is based on many years of research and is now the most reliable soil balance system.
By using the Mikhail System, you follow 5 simple steps that will:
Identify the cause of any problems
Improved soil structure & friability
Apply the nutrients that are needed (and only if they are needed)
Stimulate soil biology
Then monitor and adjust (The fertilizer needed should go down over time – not up!)
Why include Soil Biology?
Stimulating soil biology greatly increases both fertilizer responsiveness and the effectiveness of soil friability improvements.
More importantly, it is such a sensitive indicator of changes in the soil that it keeps you one step ahead of what is happening on your farm.
Yeah, I know – this all sounds a bit complex, especially compared with other ‘normal’ soil tests. So…
What about soil test kits?
Other soil tests and home-test kits generally do just one thing – they tell you how much fertilizer they think you should use. They have no interest in improving your soil or your sustainability. And they generally provide little or no support – you need find a garden expert for that!
Why not become that garden expert yourself and ensure that yours is the most picture-perfect garden on the block?
Many People use SWEP soil tests
Why not spend a moment to read what other people have had to say about this soil test…
Pat Coleby
"SWEP is by far the best soil testing lab, as they provide easy to understand analysis and are most helpful in discussing results. They show the desired quantities of each item, which greatly assists the farmer or gardener and it takes only about 10 days for the results to come back. Their tests include all trace elements and they measure Hydrogen rather than estimate it."
Jane Myers
"I am the author of the book Managing Horses on Small Properties and I run workshops in numerous locations around the country.
"In my book and workshops I emphasize that one of the most important steps is to have an accurate soil test done from an independent lab.
"I recommend SWEP not only for their independence, but also for the level of service they offer. Their analysis is returned promptly in an easy to read format, with the bonus of being able to speak directly to staff at SWEP."
Tim Terry
"When I first began in the truffle business soil testing was only done by the Department of Agriculture or companies selling fertilizer and neither wanted to get their minds around truffles.
"So I set about trying to find an independent lab to take up the challenge and this is how I found SWEP.
"In addition to their independence and already detailed analysis, being able to include additional tests for things like particle size distribution and total calcium are things not generally covered by other laboratories. And their level of service and professionalism is second to none."
