I have developed a do-it-yourself soil testing service in partnership with Longley Organic Farm/ActiveVista. It works like this:

1. Pay for and pick up kit from Longley Organic Farm.

2. Take your own soil samples based on your situation.

3. Take soil back to Longley Organic Farm - they will post the sample to the lab.

4. I receive the results and write a report with a recipe for a tailored organic fertiliser.

5. Longley Organic Farm makes up a fertiliser mix suitable to your soil.
