What soil test kit is best for lawns?

This is a pretty good kit... I don't know much about lawns specifically but it tests soil so as long as what you are testing for is covered in the kit then this is a good buy.

I used Luster Leaf 1612 for my lawn in Eugene, OR. Read my review for this product and my procedure to see if it will work for you.

I can't tell you which test kit is best for lawns, however I used the Luster Leaf Rapitest to only check the pH value of my lawn (Acidic or alkaline) to determine how much lime to use; if any is required based upon the pH value.

It is absolutely worthless in my opinion. Money wasted as far as I'm concerned.

will you be coming out soon with an updated version that measures soil types (acidity, ph, etc.)?

Yes, WIbowhunter, Creeping Charlie in my lawn is what I initially ordered Quinclorac75 for last year and it worked well on that. I purchased it again for this spring/summer.

I tried both lawn mix with microclover in it (earth turf) and mini clover. Personally, I can't tell there is a different. They are both shorter and smaller than regular clover.

Yes. Hydrogyzyme and roots organic trinity compound both for dirt and dro. Fox farms is a nitro lock in soil . Use one qtr of what they say in scheduled feedings balance pH and ppm.

earthbox is good stuff. however, it does not come with the needed soil, fertilizers, etc. I strongly recommend that you look at their products carefully and then review what you want to accomplish and where. do you need a staking kit? if you are growing tomatoes, you might - or provide your own. I have found the small bag (1.0 cu ft) of miraclegro fills one earthbox. you also need an eartthbox replanying kit - fertilizer, lime, all pre measured. is earthbox expensive. you bet. doers it produce worthwhile results. you bet. they tend to be out of staking kits, etc. it is better to order all of what you need for one growing season before you begin. it is an good use of space and can provide excellent grower-control of your plants. If you are truly serious about growing this is a good option - short of a raised bed system. growums' is another option. I have never used growums, but I would if I could find them...Lowe's has them sometimes, some locations.

Seems like overkill. One jug of Drive will do your size lawn 10x over. Hose sprayer, 4-5 TBsp per gallon ratio. In my sprayer I add 12 oz of Drive and 2 oz of surfactant. (Always use surfactant!) Seriously for you I would just go to Home Depot or Lowes and get a $12 bottle of crabgrass & weed killer. Save your money.

Definitely! I purchased the yard turf for thatching but surprising it does more than thatch. It's a good investment.

The Aerify Plus works well on all soil types. I have a son in San Diego and visit, and I've noticed that most of the soils there are not that claylike, so that is a good thing. But they certainly can get compacted , and the Aerify PLUS will help relieve that.

I ordered a bag of vermiculite for planting after "harvest" to bypass the cleaning of the used vermiculite. It was only a few extra bucks for it. Check your local hydroponics store or garden center. They should have what you need and it may cost less as there's no "middle man" or shipping expenses.

I used a heavy duty cordless drill. Depends on how many holes and how tough the soil is though. Good auger bit, works good in rock hard AZ dirt.

Yes, contact your county agriculture agent. For a small fee they will test your soil. Look them up on line and they will explain what you need to do..

To be accurate, use the spreading information (pounds per 1000 sq.) from the bag for the product you are using. The Earthway has a chart for the setting based on the application rate. Put out nitrogen on the lawn last month and no streaks this year; very precise spread.

I have been very satisfied with the BV6000. It works well with leaves and small debris, either on grassy surfaces or sidewalks. Good luck!

Espoma makes a Garden Soil for outdoor gardening I don't know what the difference is but I do container gardening and it is very good. You also could probably get it a lot cheaper in a store.

i actually bought this as a test for both soil & hydro however since my crops were ruined my testing did not finish however the one plant i did use this on did give me a bigger amount of buds & i will soon test out my experiment soon but flowering wise id say yes but if you have a bigger grow you would need alot more of this as it can be kind of expensive & there are always cheaper ways of doing it. Best for soil in my opinion but can also be used for Hydro.
