I didn't know they made Soil test Kits... They sound interesting..

I bet you can find some info on their site on how to use the Kit.

I check my soil in a different way. I test the PH of Run Off Water from my Plants.

Basically you want the runoff to be between 6.5 and 6.8 Idealy... But this is pretty hard to get Somtimes no matter how hard you try.

I use ProMix. but I am switching to hortbec Soil.. Which im sure you ahve seen where you buy your CIL products (canadian Tire / Dominion whereever) Im switching to try it out because that soil is from QueBec and it has compost and Humas in it (Great PH Buffers as well as souce of Micronutrients) As well its OMRI tested (ALL ORGANIC) I am gonna try it out hopfully its better than ProMix. If im not successful with it I can go back to ProMix well see/////

So if you test your PH and lets say its 5.5Ph.. thats pretty dang low so when you water next time you shoudl try and get the PH up by Adding some PH up to your water.. If the Ph level your looking for is roufghly 7ph,,, and you runoff was 5.5 you want to water with PH'd water close to 8ph but not over... So that would help you bring up your Ph to the 6.5 range..

This is from my understanding a simple way to get you soils PH level back up into a range that you want.

Hope some of this makes sense,,, Im gonna look into that CIL kit.
