TL;DR
A soil test report is the written results document a laboratory returns after analyzing a lawn or garden sample, presenting measured nutrient levels against optimal ranges and translating them into specific lime and fertilizer rates. Reading one means checking pH first, then phosphorus and potassium bars, then following the recommendation table for the grass type sampled.
What it means
A soil test report is the written results document a laboratory returns after analyzing a lawn or garden sample, presenting measured nutrient levels against optimal ranges and translating them into specific lime and fertilizer rates. Reading one means checking pH first, then phosphorus and potassium bars, then following the recommendation table for the grass type sampled. Lawn-care companies use it to justify or skip applications, so customers can ask to see the document behind a proposed treatment plan.
