minus-squareTrack_Shovel@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoAre you trying to do a particle size analysis/texture analysis with the jar?
minus-squaremercurly@slrpnk.netOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoNah. For this soil test you let your dirt water sit overnight and let it settle before you get a liquid sample.
minus-squareTrack_Shovel@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoWhat are the four vials for? N, P, K and S? You would get much better results sending a sample to the lab for about the same price as what you paid for this kit. Most labs I’ve dealt with charge between $25 to $80 per sample, with the average price in the $25 to $50 range.
minus-squaremercurly@slrpnk.netOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI agree sending it off would yield better results, but this kit was like $11 and does N, P, K, pH x10
