Why test your soil?

Soil testing helps you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, identifying constraints, guiding management decisions and tracking improvements over time. This knowledge can support healthier soils, better yields and more sustainable farming.

Soil testing can help you to:

accurately determine the nutrient and pH levels of soil, allowing you to make informed decisions.
identify production constraints and track improvements as you implement different management strategies, adding to your profitability and sustainability on farm.
access free interpretation and advice from Landscapes Hills and Fleurieu on your results
contribute to a broader understanding of the soils found across the Hills and Fleurieu
