Soil testing for nutrients, soil structure and soil pH are important for a range of applications from large scale commercial farming to vegetable gardening.

In the garden, soil testing allows you to maintain a healthy lawn, ornamental and vegetable garden by pinpointing what nutrients are lacking in the soil. Soil structure testing allows you manage your garden in response to your soil type, for example, by applying the right type of mulch or perhaps adding sand. MSL analysis can perform various soil tests on your site and offer specific advice on how to improve your lawn/garden.

Soil testing in farming is the cornerstone of good agricultural practice. The information gained from the soil analysis means that farmers can alter their fertiliser to better aid the plants needs, thus increasing the yield and reducing environmental risk. Monitoring soil texture and soil pH also allow different management regimes to be used to better improve productively and the longevity of your farm. MSL analysis offer a broad range of testing services and can offer advice tailored to your farms conditions and choice of crop.

Soil testing for construction is important in understanding, amongst other things, the cause of subsidence. For example, MSL analysis can check the soil structure, soil moisture content (to check for ‘drying’) and check if any tree roots found in the soil are still alive and active.  

Finally, soil testing for truffle growing is of course incredibly important. Soil pH, liming requirements, trace element levels and soil structure are all essential components to monitor for successful cultivation. We perform such analyse regularly on our partner plantations, but if your not in our truffle partnership programme, MSL analysis can help you with soil analyse and specific recommendations for your truffle growing site.
