Your Nutrition Program

What is Your Nutrition Program?

Your Nutrition Program is part of your comprehensive soil test report - included with the purchase of a Soil Test Kit.

​

It is a prescription-based, annual fertilizer plan that is simple, affordable and catered to the specific needs of your soil.

The Soil Test Kit can be used for gardens, trees, shrubs, etc. but Your Nutrition Program is best suited for lawns. 

​

The multi-page soil test report includes:

​​

​Page 1:

  • Soil test results from A&L Canada Laboratories, including optimal ranges

  • The analysis includes organic matter, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, pH, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and base saturation of cations

 

Page 2:

  • Your Nutrition Program - your personalized annual fertilizer program

  • A shopping list of specific products to accompany Your Nutrition Program

 

Page 3:​

  • Detailed product use guidelines

​​

Page 4:

  • A monthly maintenance schedule for your intended end use

​

Additional information: 

​
