Know what's happening in your soil before you spend on inputs.
Why a microscope test?
I use the Soil Food Web methodology, looking at a live sample under the microscope.
Field kits like the microbiometer read soil life by colour. They give you a quick number, which is handy for tracking change. But they can't see what's actually living in your soil, so they can't tell good fungi from disease or show whether anything is cycling nutrients for your plants.
Under the microscope I can. I count the bacteria and fungi, find the protozoa that feed your plants and check the nematodes. I also catch warning signs, like disease or soil going anaerobic, before they hit your crop.
It's the difference between guessing and knowing.
How it works
Order your assessment
I'll email you sampling instructions
Post your sample to me in Woodford
Your results arrive by email, with your written plan if you chose a Biology Report
Pricing
Microscope Count – $180: raw microbiology counts
Biology Report – $250: microbiology counts plus a written report with a step-by-step plan
Biology + Chemistry Report – $350 + lab fees: biology and lab chemistry read together, with one plan for your soil
Lab fees: charged at cost, based on current EAL pricing. The amount depends on which chemistry tests your soil needs.
Prices are per sample. Lab fees are invoiced before your results are delivered.
