FAQ's
What does a Soil Health Check involve?
Our Soil Health Check provides an in-depth biological assessment of your soil, compost, or compost tea. We evaluate the presence and balance of key microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes, to give you a comprehensive picture of soil health. This information is essential for understanding your soil’s biological structure and optimising it for plant growth.

How do I collect a sample?
Once your payment is confirmed, we’ll email you our Sample Collection Protocol. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to ensure you collect a representative sample. For each sample, you’ll gather small portions from multiple points in the area, combine them, and label the bag as specified. Detailed instructions for soil, compost, and liquid samples will help you collect accurately, preserving the biological integrity of the sample.
When should I send my sample?
For the most accurate results, please arrange for your sample to arrive Monday through Wednesday. Samples arriving on other days risk processing delays, which can impact the biological composition and accuracy of the assessment. Our team will handle samples as soon as they arrive to maintain freshness.
Can I ship my sample on a Thursday or Friday?
We recommend avoiding shipping on Thursdays or Fridays. Samples need to arrive in our lab between Monday and Wednesday to ensure they are fresh and ready for analysis. If a sample arrives later in the week, it may not be processed until the following week, which could compromise its biological accuracy.
What if I have multiple samples to submit?
We’re equipped to handle multiple samples, and discounts are available for submissions of two or more samples:
- 2 Samples: £100.00 + VAT
- 3 Samples: £145.00 + VAT
- 4 Samples: £180.00 + VAT

You’ll be able to specify the number of samples during the booking process, and we’ll include this information on your invoice.
How long does it take to receive my Soil Health Report?
Once your sample arrives, you can expect to receive your Soil Health Report within 48 hours. We’ll email the report to you and include an analysis of the biological makeup of your soil. If you have questions, our team is here to help interpret the findings.
What information is included in the Soil Health Report?
The report provides a detailed breakdown of microbial groups essential to soil health, such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes. Understanding these levels helps you gauge soil vitality and make informed decisions about soil management. If further interpretation is needed, we can assist with explaining the implications of these results for your specific soil type and goals. For a small additional cost a video recording of the assessment will be created with the first reading being narrated. This helps you to more fully understand the wonderful world beneath our feet.
Do you offer recommendations based on the results?
Our Soil Health Report gives an objective analysis of your soil’s biological content.
