Soil Savvy - Soil Test Kit | Understand What Your Lawn or Garden Soil Needs, Not Sure What Fertilizer to Apply | Analysis Provides Complete Nutrient Analysis & Fertilizer Recommendation On Report

The main reason for my purchase of this product was to gain a better understanding of my lawn and to develop an efficient lawn care plan. And yes, I'm another person who was introduced to this by watching the Lawn Care Nut videos on YouTube.Anyways, since purchasing my home in 2014, I've been working to improve the lawn and landscaping since the previous owners did no favors in this category. I improved my cutting and watering schedule as well as started a weed & feed application. Although the lawn made significant improvement, I was still experiencing different conditions in the front and back. It was realized that what I was doing was definitely an improvement....but probably not the most efficient way to go about it. I finally settled on getting 2 of these kits to find out what was going on and improve my lawn care program.I used a soil probe to take multiple samples in both zones. I then mixed and sifted the soil for best composite sample. As expected, the result from the front and back yard were very different. I may not fully understand the history of the yard (since it could be a million different factors) but the results have helped me understand the nutrient levels and to develop an application plan that will lead to a healthier lawn. I have taken the result from this fall and will carry out my plan until I retest next year.In my opinion, this kit is reasonably priced, easy to use and the results come quickly. I believe you get alot of information about your soil and the recommendations are nice to have as a good starting point. Lawn Care Nut recommends this and in his video he recommends this kit because they use a "synthetic root" that tells you what nutrients are available in your soil, not just what is IN your soil.The only other thing I can say is that I'm just a consumer and don't really have any understanding as to the quality or accuracy of the testing that Unibest performs. I'm trusting their analysis and that their information helps me achieve the improvements I'm looking for. I guess time will tell.

Awesome Soil test kit, give you great data and a recommendations to get you to optimal levels. Great customer service.

Easy to do the soil test. The company is there as well. Price is good.A minor issue with the shipment. Post office said the address on the provided envelope has an issue so it took longer time to there. I took roughly 2 weeks from mailing out to getting the result online. Not a big deal to me because it said 7-10 business days already.

I have been using this soil test for years and find it very useful. Everyone including the local lawncare professionals say that I have the nicest lawn in town and ask for my secret. I work very hard trying to keep my lawn the best in town. I follow law care guys on YouTube, I go to various Midwest University ag department web sights, I read books on the subject and try recommended processes to improve my lawn, at least to keep it the best in town. Some things work around here some don't. My uncle who was a farmer recognized with a special dinner put on by the University of Wisconsin ag department for all his contributions to the advancement of modern agriculture in the state, when asked by me as a young man how to get a great lawn like him, told me the first thing to do was get a soil test. I at first had the county ag agent get the test done for me, which was great. But with experience and the quest for perfection looked for and found this test kit. I have been using these kits for years now and they have helped me put my lawn over the top. This year some people have complained about the poor service from Unibest. It did take over a week longer than before to get my results but was accompanied with a peruse apology for the delayed results. I probably wouldn't have needed the test done this year as because of my hard work and diligence the test came back basically saying what I had expected, everything was almost if not spot on. I have been so pleased with this test that I will continue to use it.

The test kit was easy enough to use and we followed the directions and eagerly awaited our results. It took well over 2 weeks to receive our results via email because their equipment was broken. They said their results should still be accurate, but I question the accuracy of our results. It said the nitrogen content was 15x higher then the ideal range. This was on an area we expected to be pretty deficient of nitrogen. It’s our first year farming here though, so maybe something weird happened before we got here. Either way we are going to have to get another sample to confirm the results. We were offered a 50% coupon for the hassle of the delayed results, but we would have to email them for it. We emailed them 5 days ago and still haven’t heard back. We are about to put seeds in the ground, so it’s unfortunate we wasted an extra 2 weeks waiting on them.
