## Description

It’s vital to know the existing pH, Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P) and Potash (K) levels in garden soil. The rapitest Soil Test Kit continues to be the standard for home soil testing. The kit includes all components needed to for (40) tests: (10) each for pH, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potash. The patented color comparator system allows for easy color comparisons versus a typical printed color chart. Extensive, yet simple, instructions are included along with recommendations for over 400 plants. Test results allow the gardener the amend and fertilize appropriately, ensuring the best possible results

Review: Perfect for garden beds. - Arrived in great shape. The instructions are clear and it's easy to use. Matching the test results to the color scale charts was easy to see and understand. I had no problems with my test. I primarily used the kit to check the PH levels in a large bed, about 20x15 feet, and found slightly different results in different parts of the bed, which was good to know. Next time I want to check soil in an area I'm working in, I will buy this test kit. I recommend it as a good, quick, and easy-to-use kit. It doesn't replace or equal a State/University Agriculture department test for large projects, but it's great for getting a good reading of the soil condition for new plantings.
Review: very convenient - The kit is very easy to use. I don't know how accurate it is (I have no way to compare). The guide is very detailed and efficient and after readings it twice or thrice the process is very simple and the results are quite clear (except the PH test which is hard to tell due to fact that the soil does not settle in the required time of one minute) All in all, if the results are indeed accurate, I think the kit is very good, but what I particularly miss is the option to purchase supplemental capsules (those containing the powder). 10 for each test isn't enough, especially if you need to make repeating tests. I don't think I will buy the whole kit again just for the capsules themselves.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this kit for a one-and-done test?  If so, where and how much are refills for this product?**
A: This test has several capsules for each test you want to run.  My soil was really depleted.  So I tested the first time to see what it needed, and then added those nutrients, and a week later tested again.  I used the recommendations on the instructions to "fix" the soil, and it worked really well.  The kit is easy to us.  Read the FULL INSTRUCTIONS on the inside.  The short version does not work.  It will take a few hours or even days for some, because you have to put the soil in "purified" water, and let the soil settle to the bottom and the liquid become as clear as possible.  I bought these on Amazon and if I remember right paid less than $10 for the complete kit.  It was cheaper that way.  I love these tests.  Hope this was helpful.

**Q: can you use it for several seasons.. or do the chemicals go bad once opened to the air?**
A: The chemicals are in capsules. I used mine throughout the season last year on multiple foot plots around our property. Each variety of capsule is in its own sealable baggie also. You should be good as long as you keep them away from open moisture.

**Q: how many capsules do you get and how easy are they to find?**
A: There were 10 capsules for each test, easy to do, and fairly accurate I think.  I'm a science teacher and have used this type of test before.  They were color coded and in separate bags.

**Q: Can i get spare capsules for the tester on amazon?**
A: If you want to test across multiple seasons, look for "Luster Leaf 1880 Rapitest Tester Electronic 4-Way Analyzer, Soil". The meter can be used over and over without regard to having any chemical capsules to use.
