Importance of Testing Soil

The Soil Testing Kit allows you to check the four main soil elements which affect your plants the most up to 10 times. They are;

• Soil PH - it is important to rest the pH of your soil to ensure the acidity levels are correct for the plants you are growing. Each area that you intend to plant should be tested as the soil pH may differ in various parts of your garden
• NITROGEN (N) - this is essential for the growth of vegetables especially grass and leafy plants. The correct amount allows for healthy growth, too much and the plant’s structure will be damaged
• PHOSPHORUS (P) – this nutrient is necessary for strong root growth and root vegetables. It helps in the formation of buds and healthy stems. A lack of phosphorous will stunt the growth of a plant.
• POTASSIUM/POTASH (K) – this nutrient is important in the development of flowers and shrubs. The correct potassium levels ensure that flowers become more fragrant and have improved colour. In vegetables it ensures a better quality crop and also makes plants more resistant to disease.
