Everything You Need to Know About the Epic Soil KitUpdated 9 days ago

Epic Gardening’s soil test kits simplify the process of soil testing by including everything you need in one convenient package: a collection bag, detailed instructions, a prepaid mailer box, lab fees, and personalized fertilizer advice. Partnering with Waters Agricultural, we use the Mehlich 3 method to ensure accurate results.

How It Works: Follow these 4 Easy Steps to get detailed soil results:

  1. Collect Your Soil: Sample from 3–5 spots in your testing area.
  2. Bag Your Soil: Mix and place the soil into the provided collection bag.
  3. Send Your Soil: Use the prepaid mailer to ship your sample to the lab.
  4. Register Your Test: Use the instructions on the registration card to register online.

FAQs:

  • What lab does Epic Gardening use? All soil samples are processed by Waters Agricultural, using the Mehlich 3 method for precise nutrient analysis.

  • How long does it take to get my results? The lab needs about 2 days to complete the analysis, and shipping usually takes 3-4 days. You can expect your results in about one week.

  • How is testing with Epic different from other services? Epic Gardening offers a seamless experience with no need for separate mailing, forms, or payments. Our lab provides consistent 2-day turnaround times and recommendations tailored to your garden’s square footage.

  • Will I need additional kits for multiple areas? Yes. Each kit covers one soil sample. For larger properties or multiple areas, we recommend purchasing additional kits for separate reports.
