Are you based in Osoam? If so, I know a certain family of Khmer Australians claimed they tested the soil. You could ask themBarang chgout wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2017 8:51 am Available here? Covered before? Any info. appreciated.

Simple, fast, and accurate results; no experience required to perform tests

Re: Agricultural soil testing.
Yes OSaom and I know who that Khmer Australian is and shall enquire thanks. A few different soil types around here so it will be interesting to see his land ( which I haven't got around to yet) and compare soils.username wrote:Are you based in Osoam?

Re: Agricultural soil testing.
Interesting. Thanks for the offer, I may soon take you up on that. I'm actually more concerned about the trace elements as the ph here is very close to neutral and, as such, nothing should be 'locked up' in the soil. However some plants thrive while other varieties struggle or don't perform at all.Jerry Atrick wrote:I have a soil testing kit, new in box, good for 40 samples which you can have for $30 if you like.

Re: Agricultural soil testing.
I also have an arsenic testing kit for groundwater, again unused.
I'm unlikely to need either for some time, so message me if you don't find them elsewhere.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Both CARDI and MAFF/GDA do soil testing. The last time I did it through MAFF/GDA it cost about $42 per sample. Tests for a long list of nutrients, PH, organic matter, etc. Had to wait about a week for the results. I am told CARDI is about $75 per sample, but I never tried it.
