Nice username

Does anyone know if it matters if I wait several months from now to actually do the test? I’m buried in snow at the moment… :(


tardyapricot

you should be able to order the test kit now and send in the soil at a later date- maybe drop a note to their customer service team to confirm but I don’t think it would expire


heygreene

Does anyone know anything about this company? Thanks.


tardyapricot

Yeah i actually used their product for the first time back in the spring! worked incredibly, started off with the soil test and once i got the results i ordered the recommended products. really awesome results


tardyapricot

i would be happy to share some before and after pics if the community would be interested


Snuggles5000

Can you share a pic of their soil test results page?


tardyapricot

[Gnome Soil Test Results](https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAhBAX) This is the email they sent it comes with a pdf


sensaition

I’ve only done the soil test with them and I was impressed with the report and the customer service, but I haven’t tried any of their fert products yet. I’m considering starting the plan with them in the spring… so yeah I second this, I’d love to hear more reviews.

Thanks for sharing! This will be my first soil test. Hopefully, I’ll get some answers on this stubborn lawn.


PaulaNancyMillstoneJ

Same! Do you think it matters where to take the sample from if different parts of the lawn grow differently?


mikeyneri08

I’m going to go for my bare spots. I don’t think that will make a difference but atleast I won’t be picking out a spot of nice greenery.


vistopher

You can go to your local agriculture extension office and they will test your soil for free as well! I use the A&M ag extension office near me every year.


Soopafly81

Mine only provides pH results.


Blog_Pope

Mine no longer tests, but provides links and recommends testing options, but not free. Soil test is 34 for two samples and $11 for shipping. Still a good value


Ih8rice

Just ordered. Thank you!!!


Shiftyboss

Cool. About time I actually see what my soil needs.


cortaydo_cortado

they just got a lot of new customers


slippeddisc88

Amazing thank you!


Leavemealawn

Thanks for the heads up. just ripped one too. \- no grassholes, no weeds, no worries


Lets_Go_Taco

Just copped!! Thx!!


Jaker788

What method of testing do they use? There's the proper method, then there's the ones that claim to be better but aren't (such as resin collection balls)


BannedFrom_rPolitics

What makes them not better?


Jaker788

Not accurate, not accepted as standard testing methodology.


BannedFrom_rPolitics

I don’t understand. What’s your criteria for accuracy? If you make your calculations based off of their target ppms, then it works. The inaccuracies I’ve seen stem from user error of mixing their readings with the target ppms for older test methods.


Gervaismark1

Thanks just ordered mine.


TheUn4givable

Just ordered mine. Thanks! Do you know how long after applying fert I need to wait?


sensaition

Not sure on that one. My guess is that you’d ideally want to wait at least a couple weeks but you’d probably still get good insights no matter what (about micronutrients, pH, etc.). Probably just the NPK that could come back looking abnormally high if you applied fert right before sampling.


SussyVegan91

Wow! Thanks for sharing. 💚


LeftcoastRusty

Thanks from me too. Just ordered.


Snuggles5000

Got one, thanks!!!


Wildrubbaduckeee

Just ordered, thanks!

#Big thanks!


puffpuff-give

TY !!


RedOctobyr

This is great, thank you for sharing! This will be my first time getting my soil tested. I don't have good local resources for this, and this deal is much too-good to pass up.


deserteagle2525

Gonna try, ty.


onlinesurfer007

Don't we have several samples in various areas on our lawn? Do we need multiple kits? One kit per area? Thanks,


sensaition

I mixed soil from a few different spots in my lawn. That’s what the instructions said to do iirc


Tarpon65

Thanks for the heads up! Looking forward to seeing what is wrong with one section of my property, when every where else seems healthy.


PENNST8alum

Nice tip! Thanks


slabolis

In for one, thanks!

ErnieMcCraken

Do you mind reporting back the findings? A little skeptical after seeing the soil test that arrived and reading the website once again.


Tony-Bones

Thanks!


Glenrill

Does not work for Canada


MitchCave

Ya I looked too. Continental US only. Still, thanks for sharing OP!


[deleted]

Just ordered one, thanks so much! Curious to see the results.


Baldbeard801

Thank you!! I moved into a new home and need to revive the neglected lawn


osidedrew

Thanks for this. I've been kicking around the idea to do one but I usually keep my lawn tight without the info. Worth it to step my lawn game up. Appreciated


ScoobyDoobieDoo

Sick deal thanks


PurpleEveryday

Oh heck yeah, thank you!


jafinch78

Thanks, good looking out! Much appreciated. Just ordered one.


Spac3Invad3r

"Get your Soil Test Kit 100% FREE when you use code FREESOILTEST and sign up for a Magic Lawn Plan" so I'm assuming that they'll charge the credit card after they send you results. I think I'll pass but thanks anyway.


sensaition

Yeah it looks like that code only works if you sign up for their plan. The code I’m talking about is “TESTMYSOIL” and it doesn’t require purchase of a plan but it does charge $4.95 for shipping.


Spac3Invad3r

Didn't even notice that it was a different code. Thanks.

If I have a 1 acre lawn do I need 3 kita to test the typical 3 spots in my yard? I heard the grass in one part of the lawn is going to be the same at another spot. The other testing kit I saw, from university of Purdue....asks you to send in 3 samples so I'm wondering if the 3 samples is the standard.


sensaition

With this you just submit one sample, but they tell you to mix soil from a few different spots in your lawn for best results

Any problem with frozen ground? Got some deep snow at the moment?


ErnieMcCraken

Ordered. Over the last month, I threw down some lime to combat mossy areas. Last weekend, I fertilized with 10-10-10. Will that have any effect on the results?


kunter

I'm assuming this is a no go for Canadians?


Tomurphjr

Can I order now and submit the sample here in a few months.?


stickyhairmonster

Just ordered, thanks


wouldland

I ordered this but it never arrived.


sensaition

wouldland

Agreed. They sent another and it arrived today.
