What kind of soil can be sent to be assessed?

Any soil including, but not limited to, compost, garden beds, large scale farming fields, forests, nature reserves, wild land in need of restoring etc. Also, liquid extracts and compost teas can be assessed.

How many samples should I send?

Full instructions will be given when your needs are assessed.

Do samples go bad (anaerobic) in the post?

The best way to collect and send a sample is late in the day (if possible, no worries if not) and send the sample for a next day delivery. Essentially, they do not go bad in the post.

Do I have to send the samples or can you come to me to collect it?

It is more efficient for you to send the samples to me, full instructions are given.

How long will it take to get my results

It depends how may samples you send me. For quality of service I can realistically assess 4/5 samples in a day. I will aim to assess the samples on the day of arrival, or the day after, depending what time they arrive. I aim to have your results sent back to you on the same day as I assess the sample.
