Greener Pastures
Soil and Microbe Testing

Congratulations on getting into our most recent Soil and Microbe testing program: Greener Pastures.   The suite of tests included in this program is designed to give a farmer a very comprehensive insight into the condition of their paddock.  To learn more about what the test includes click HERE.

Here is how it works:
  1. Complete the Contract below
  2. Pick up your test kit (see map below)
  3. Take your samples (<500 grams per sample) and send off (postage paid)
  4. ​Your samples get analysed.  Results come back to you by email

The analysis for your samples will include recommendations regarding how to maximise the productivity of your paddock. These recommendations will consider soil chemistry and biology.  
This program is ideally suited to problem paddocks.  We recommend that you take at least 10 X subsamples randomly across the paddock.  Mix sub samples together to form ONE Sample.  This ONE Sample must include a minimum of 500 grams of soil.  ONLY SEND IN ONE SAMPLE TO THE LABS.  There are further instructions in your sample kit to guide you taking and submitting your samples.  Before you send in the sample, you must complete the ORDER FORM.  The order form is also included in your sample kit.  It has been partially filled out (with payment details and type of test).  All you have to complete on the order form is ROW 1 on PAGE 2.  HOWEVER, If you complete the SAMPLE DETAILS page (OPTIONAL) the labs will be able to provide you with more targeted recommendations because they will be aware of your chemical and fertiliser applications.

Note: WICC will invoice you once you submit the contract below.  WICC will pay the labs.  This program is subsidised by WICC and the National Landcare Program
