[How to FIX YOUR SOIL] - Step by Step How to USE a SOIL TEST

Soil testing is an important part of creating an amazing lawn. In this video series, I'll show you step by step how to use a soil test kit. Soil testing allows you to measure the ph level of your lawn. Based on the results you can then apply the correct levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to great the perfect environment for you golf course lawn.

I chose to use the online soil testing kit from MySoil which uses an ion exchange resin to simulate plant roots. This method of nutrient uptake is much closer to what's actually happening. on your lawn vs. the traditional methods of crushing or drying a soil sample. My Soil's testing process measures what's actually available to your turf grass. This makes it a better option for soil testing. It allows you to more accurately amend any deficiencies in your soil.

By measuring the levels of nitrogen in the soil, phosphorus in the soil and potassium in the soil, you'll know exactly what type of fertilizer is the best fit for you particular lawn. You will also learn what the PH level of your soil is and will be given recommendations on whether to apply lime or sulphur to restore the proper balance. This soil test also measures the amount of micronutrients in your soil such as iron, magnesium and zinc.

This is a complete walk through. I show opening the kit all the way through mailing the sample out. I collect soil samples in 7 different locations in my lawn. I then show how to mix the soil samples and mail them out for testing. Once the results are made available online, I'll provide an update discussing the results so we can see how the soil amendments made over the summer have changed the soil. My hope is that this video will be helpful to any home owners wanting to do the same thing with their lawn.
