Home Soil Test vs Lab Soil Test. Demonstration and review 

Thanks Rick! That makes perfect sense and I’ll definitely keep this valuable tip in mind in the future.

@Steve Mar. do they pay you to be an asshole? or you just get a kick out of getting people to shit on you?

@@stevemar.6758 why do you say that

Haha, yes 😂

That's when I hit the sub button

Yeah I’m jealous too! Lol

That's rude eating in front of us and not offering us one

I cringed at the sight of a juicy, highly acidic, food being eaten over the test materials. But, good job removing your gloves first! 😎 Still a worthy demonstration. 👍

Free game if your here for anything to do with grow tips and testing thank you

Thank you! I have fun making them and I’m glad you enjoy them

Shari Fitzpat haha, they are so delicious! Thank you!

That’s pretty awesome! Thank you for sharing

Probably like crocodile dundee reading the sun for time.

My farmer (fresh produce farmer) often tested his soil and his homemade sausage (raw) by tasting it. He died of stomach cancer at age 76. Most docs think there was a connection.

@@craigborgardt6396 We should be so lucky as to live to 76. That's the current avg lifespan in the U.S.

Thank you so much! I’m still to this so this feedback is very encouraging.

Thank you! I appreciate your feedback

Thank you! That’s my goal for these videos so I’m glad you feel this way and greatly appreciate you sharing this feedback!

lenin shamsher awesome!

Hi Omkar! I’m so glad you are enjoying my videos and finding them helpful! I’ll keep sharing as much as I can! Happy farming!

Thank! I’m glad you are enjoying my videos

I didn't thumbs down it, but this video does imply that taking a soil sample to your local ag office for real lab testing is expensive.. He seems like he is doing the RU-vid as a job thing by only referencing products he can help sell by name, get a commission by providing a link, or future ad money, note he never said by name the company he sent his soil sample off to as that wouldn't make him any money. By saying it was the most expensive and "showing" home tests he gets a commission off you buying were fairly accurate. It's common sense that this man is an entertainer by trade because of his presentation, but most people don't realize that because RU-vid has alot of genuine educational videos. He is fun to watch for sure. I work in a laboratory and trust me the real smart people are not entertaining fun characters 99.999999% of the time. Also color comparison tests like this are garbage for soooo many reasons. You can attempt to prove your home tests accuracy by using duplicates and standards though which he did not choose to do. At very least doing a blank with distilled water only along with these tests would have made the video more interesting as the lab has to do those things to prove the accuracy of the tests.

dubbya57 thank you! I’m so glad you found my video helpful in your research! It can be frustrating to get lots of mixed feedback and reviews etc. we all know the feeling. Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much!

Yeah, not too bad

Thank you and thank you for your recommendation

Amending the soil could mean via compost, as I'm doing. I'm using the LaMotte test kit to get a profile of my compost to know, for instance, should I keep out citrus fruit waste or add it (re pH).

Jonathan Ramm thank you!

My pleasure! Im glad you found it helpful. let me know if you have any other questions.

You’re welcome

Thank you!

Mary Ritelli thank you so much! I’m loving this LaMotte kit!

I fill my beds with the organic compost from the Napa composting facility. Have you tried that?

Michael McMillan I will check it out that you.

Richard Hartnell you’re very welcome. Thank you for that feedback. I’m glad you found my video helpful.

Waldo Alcantara I’m glad you enjoyed my video and found it helpful. You still should buy LaMotte 👍🏼

I did and now can't do without it. Now I am formulating my own potting mix using it. Appreciation all the way from Philippines!

Thank you!

How can I get that blue pack test kit plz

sajjabi HUSSEN I have a link to it in the description

You’re welcome

This accents heavy as heck to me

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you

I’ve been quite pleased with LaMotte

Trisha Navarro she will once she gets all those delicious veggies this summer! Thanks, they are absolutely delicious. General health (water/soil health) etc. are usually all that’s required for established orange trees.

Thank you

Thank you Lisa! I know fertilizer can be confusing so I actually made a full video about fertilizer and fertilizing summer gardens here on my channel

Kenton Hart thank you!

Thank you for sharing your suggestion

I think it costs $40 in MA unless anyone knows otherwise?

Ana Gonzalez I’m so glad you are enjoying my videos! Thanks! Well that’s a first 😂

Hi, I sent it to a lab in nearby Ranch Cordova
