My cardboard and food scraps lasagna passed the test.
I'm gonna go slather some more on my cucumbers.

Oh my gosh, I think I have the same soil test kit. I never thought to test my compost!
Are you trying to do a particle size analysis/texture analysis with the jar?
Nah. For this soil test you let your dirt water sit overnight and let it settle before you get a liquid sample.
What are the four vials for? N, P, K and S?
You would get much better results sending a sample to the lab for about the same price as what you paid for this kit.
Most labs I've dealt with charge between $25 to $80 per sample, with the average price in the $25 to $50 range.
I agree sending it off would yield better results, but this kit was like $11 and does N, P, K, pH x10
I thought the title said "tasting" 🤮
