Biological Soil Test FAQs
Q: What is a biological soil test, and why is it important?
A: A biological soil test analyzes the microorganisms in your soil, such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes. These organisms are essential for nutrient cycling and plant health. Understanding your soil’s food web helps you optimize fertility and sustainability.
Q: How do I properly collect a soil sample for the test?
A: To ensure accuracy, follow our soil sampling protocol.
Q: Will the soil test include chemical nutrient analysis and mineral soil balancing?
A: While the focus of the biological soil test is on biological activity, we are in the process of learning how to perform soil nutrient balancing and hope to offer additional testing and analysis in the future. Combining both tests can give a full picture of your soil’s health.
