Healthy soil is alive. The question is whether the biology in your soil is actually working for you.
Soil Biology Quick Assessment
The Soil Biology Quick Assessment gives growers, gardeners, farmers, regenerative agriculture enthusiasts, compost users, and soil health advocates an affordable professional look into the living biology inside their soil.
Using microscopy, we examine your submitted soil sample and provide real microscopic photographs of the microbes and biological activity observed under the microscope, along with professional observations and qualitative analysis.
This service is designed for people who want meaningful biological insight without the higher cost of a full quantitative microbe count.
Many traditional soil tests focus primarily on chemistry and nutrients. But living soil biology plays a critical role in nutrient cycling, plant health, soil structure, water retention, root development, compost performance, and overall soil resilience.
Understanding what is happening biologically beneath the surface can help you make more informed decisions about compost applications, regenerative practices, organic growing methods, soil amendments, and long-term soil improvement strategies.
Whether you are managing a garden, raised beds, row crops, pasture, compost system, greenhouse, orchard, or regenerative farm, this assessment provides a practical and affordable starting point for evaluating your soil’s biological activity.
