Soil Analysis

Find out what your soil is really telling you

Most soil reports give you numbers and a fertilizer rate. We read your tests through four different schools of thought — conventional agronomy, organic permaculture, Korean Natural Farming, and syntropic agroforestry — and unify them into one recommendation built for your property. Free while the program is in its founding season.

How it works

Three steps to a soil plan you can trust

  1. 1

    Get your soil tested

    Already have results? Perfect. If not, we point you to the free and low-cost options near you — Connecticut residents can get standard testing free through the CT Agricultural Experiment Station — plus the specialty labs we trust for Haney and biological testing.

  2. 2

    Send us the results

    Fill out the form below, then reply to our email with your lab reports and a few photos of the areas you sampled. The photos give us visual context the numbers can’t.

  3. 3

    Get your four-lens report

    We cross-read your tests and send back what four schools of thought would each do with your soil — then unify them into one clear Grow Wild recommendation for your property, your zone, and your goals.

The four lenses

One soil, four honest answers — then ours

Every soil-improvement tradition looks at the same numbers and sees something different. Instead of picking a side for you, we show you all four — side by side — so you understand the choices. Then we give you theGrow Wild recommendation: the synthesis we would actually do on your ground.

Conventional agronomy

What a standard ag lab report and modern agronomist would prescribe — the baseline most people are handed.

Organic & permaculture

Compost, cover cropping, amendments, and biology-first thinking — building fertility instead of buying it yearly.

Korean Natural Farming

Indigenous microorganisms and farm-made inputs that feed the soil food web — the method behind our own beds.

Syntropic agroforestry

Succession, biomass, and planting design as the fertility engine — the long-game perspective.

What we can read

Bring any test — or all of them

  • Standard chemical panels — pH, organic matter, nutrients, CEC (university or private lab)
  • Haney soil health test — respiration, water-extractable carbon and nitrogen, soil health score
  • Biological assessments — microscopy counts, fungal-to-bacterial ratio, PLFA
  • Mineral-balance reports — Albrecht-style base saturation
  • DIY field observations — texture jar, infiltration, compaction, earthworm counts

The more angles we have, the sharper the recommendation — but a single standard test is a real starting point. Retest every six months and we track your progress against your own history, adjusting the plan as your soil wakes up.
