Knowing the health and pH of your soil is vital to achieve successful planting schemes. You can contact a horticultural and arboricultural specialist like ourselves for a soil test today.
Below is our step-by-step guide to maintaining the best soil for your garden:
In an agricultural or horticultural setting, a soil test is used to estimate the concentration of the nutrients in the ground. The composition and characteristics of the soil (such as its pH) and the fertility of the soil – which is the expected potential for growth.
A soil test can be used on a construction site to determine whether the soil can accommodate the construction project being undertaken.
Before waste soil can be taken to a landfill site, a number of tests must be carried out. These include the Waste Classification test, which identifies whether the soil is hazardous or non-hazardous. Following the completion of the Waste Classification test, the Waste Acceptance Criteria test must also be completed.
Here at ProHort, we can provide a range of soil tests that analyse the organic compounds found within the soil. These include:
Soil requires a major source of nutrients.Once your soil test has been complete and you have received your report, you will be able to identify which nutrients your soil needs. Three of the most important nutrients for soil are Phosphorus, Nitrogen and Potassium. A healthy soil will have all the essential and balanced nutrients to support healthy tree growth.
