    Hello all,
    someone on here mentioned a company that does soil tests if you send them on the samples! (not Teagasc now)

    What was the name of them again?

    Thanks,
    westlander

    Hello,
    Can anyone explain to me the differences or benefits between these 4 different tests:

    Theres 4 different ones:

    1) The price of a LPK analysis is 12.50 euro including VAT,

    2) LPK with Organic Matter is 22.00 euro including VAT

    3) Trace Elements (SR3) gives you LPK plus the trace elements at 25.50 euro
    including VAT

    4) if you want Organic Matter with that it will cost you
    35.00 euro including VAT.

    Thanks,
    westlander

    They send out free boxes. You can get a sampler tool, Deposit required which is refundable.
    Lime
    pH
    Available Phosphate
    Exchangeable Potassium
    They don’t give recommendations on what fertiliser to use.
    €16.50 per sample incl. vat

    They will arrange a courier to pick up samples €10
