Our Soil Carbon Lab analyzes grassland, farmland and garden soils
Find out how healthy your soil is how deep the layers containing high carbon content are.
Quantify the amount of organic matter soil ions (salinity, cation exchange capacity, sodium absorption ratio) pH water content bulk density texture (silt, clay, loam)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing what's in your soil now, and how that changes as you add nutrients, manure, sawdust, eggshells, compost or fermented products (such as compost tea), gives you the power to assist the microbiological carbon (C) pump that builds healthy soil. Productive and healthy soil takes up atmospheric carbon dioxide and creates the ideal conditions for microbial life below-ground. Deep and healthy soil layers act like a sponge: they help to retain water, provide space for air and water infiltration, give easier access for roots to grow more deeply. All of this can help you take action to improve your soils productivity AND BY MEASURING THE RESULTS, it gives you ways to maximize the growth medium for plants above ground, whether that's farmland, grazing land, conservation land or just land for wildlife. The Soil C Laboratory laboratory provides analytical support to the local and regional agricultural community in southwest Saskatchewan. Contact SCL today to find out what measurements might help you improve your soil.
