Professional-Grade Soil Test

Backed by Science

Soils often contain an abundance of nutrients that may or may not be in available forms to plants as they grow. Conventional soil analysis methods measure nutrient levels by drying and grinding your soil and extracting nutrients with different chemicals. This is still a "guess" with regards to what chemical extraction may best represent the available nutrient levels in your soil. The Andersons Soil Test Kit uses the customer's field-moist soil to adsorb available nutrients without using chemicals that can over or underestimate nutrient levels and soil release. This kit does not require your soil to be dried and ground, two processes that change the physical and chemical characteristics of the natural soil.

Fast Results

In just 6-8 days after mailing in your sample you'll get results for your soil's macronutrient, micronutrient, and pH levels. Your results will also include product recommendations tailored to your soil's needs. Register your kit, pull soil sample, mail sample, get results, grow like a pro. It's really that easy.

Pull Soil Sample

An accurate soil sample provides accurate analysis. For each test, we recommend:

  • Using a clean soil probe or hand trowel, collect soil from 5-7 separate locations/spots within your desired testing area.
  • Collect soil from the surface down to a depth of 6 inches (a shallower depth is okay if the soil is too hard).
  • Combine the collected soil thoroughly. Sample should be free of any large plant material and other debris.
  • Using the provided scoop, collect one level scoop of the mixed soil and add it to the jar. DO NOT DUMP WATER OUT OF JAR. Tightly secure lid!

Frequently Asked Questions

Spring and Fall are the best times to soil test! If you already applied fertilizer, wait at least 30 days to pull soil samples for your soil test to get accurate results.

Every soil test kit comes with one test and one prepaid mailing envelope.

It is important to collect a representative soil sample. If multiple sample areas are being tested, we recommend separate tests for each area.​ Before taking your soil sample, it’s best to evaluate your testing area and divide it into different sections if your lawn's conditions vary throughout.

For example, if your front yard is sunny and your back yard is mostly shaded and does not have great drainage, 2 soil tests may be required - one for the front and one for the back. That way, you get individual accurate readings for each area.

The soil test kits do not have an expire date.

You should mail your sample within one day of adding your soil to the jar in order to get accurate results.

The Andersons Soil Test Kit

"The Andersons Soil Test Kit gave me a detailed look at my lawn's nutrient levels and helped me stop guessing about fertilizer. The instructions were simple, the turnaround time was good, and the report clearly showed which nutrients were low and which were already sufficient. Based on the results, I was able to adjust my lawn care plan and avoid applying products I didn't need. The only reason I didn't give it a full five stars is because I would have liked to see a few additional measurements, especially organic matter (OM%), cation exchange capacity (CEC), and soil texture. Those values would provide an even better picture of overall soil health and help explain how well the soil holds nutrients. Overall, I think it's an excellent soil test for homeowners and a great value. It gave me actionable information and has already helped me make better decisions about my lawn care program."

This kit makes it so

"This kit makes it so easy to find what you lean needs. A solid prob and two test kits in the one I purchased. Took samples and added soil to included jar and mailed. Shipping was prepaid! Results to come in 7-8 days. Love this because it is simple."

Ron N. (5/5)

Soil test kit came quickly

"Soil test kit came quickly and so did the test results and the fertilizer recommendations"

MERLE Y. (5/5)

Great process and easy!

"This was a very easy process! We have a new home in the mountains and I have had trouble getting grass to look nice like i have in the other locations that I have lived. I now have a game plan to feed my lawn what it needs. I would recommend."

Victor D. (5/5)

Sea water vs rain water

"Do you have 2 test kits to use in two different locations using two different liquids or forms of hydration"

Ryan M. (5/5)

Soil Test Kit

"Very easy process and simple to use. I sampled both my front yard and back yard and I am glad I did. There was quite a bit of difference between them. The results were back in 6 days and the report was detailed and also gave recommendations to correct any concerns."

Anonymous (5/5)

Soil Test and Rachio

"Very easy to use with clear and easy directions to follow. I was disappointed to find that the test results, when received, will not sync with the Rachio app. While this may have to be resolved by Rachio, you should help drive this upgrade since you have a relationship with Rachio promoting other Anderson products."

Steve T. (5/5)

Excellent Service

"I buy all my fertilizer from Andersons so why not the soil test. Arrived quickly, easy to execute. USPS took a week to get the sample from VA to WA, but once arrived at the lab I got the results same day. Results are clear in both numerical and chart form. Recommendations are clear and ability to calculate based on your own sqft is nice. Links to rec’ed products are included. I used one test for the front and one for the back yard and they’re similar but different enough to need separate amendments this season, so thanks to Andersons for helping me figure that out. Great product and will return for it."
