What' New at the Lab

Announcing the Maine Soil Quality Test Package

Soil Quality Analysis goes well beyond traditional Nutrient Chemistry. We also evaluate Biological factors (Active Carbon/Microbial Biomass, Potential Nitrogen Supply) and Physical factors (Plant Available Water, Aggregate Stability, Texture). You also have the option to measure in-field Compaction & Rooting Depth when you sample your soil.
