Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The instructions are somewhat involved for this tester. However, it is far cheaper than sending 10 samples to a lab for processing. You do need to allow up to 24 hours for your samples to settle after mixing with water; "Rapid" is in comparison to sending the samples to a lab. The actual tests of the water samples is completed in 10 minutes. My only, rather minor, complaint is that the blue dye (Phosphorus test) tended to adhere to the plastic test capsule, requiring a bit of cleaning with toweling between each test.

This review is from: Luster Leaf 1601 Rapitest Soil Test Kit (Lawn & Patio)
This test showed that our soil was slightly acidic, but completely deficient in all three nutrients more than once. After amending appropriately and still having issues, I decided to send in soil samples to a soils lab. Their findings were much different than this test showed. Nitrogen was ok. The potassium levels were at an excessive level (nearing toxicity to plants) and the phosphorus levels were very high. The pH was also alkaline, not acidic. After getting the lab results I tried running this test kit again only to find I was getting the same wrong results that it had always given me. I recommend having a professional lab do your testing if you have any problems in your garden at least once a year. It will let you know exactly what's going on and give you correct information and recommendations on how to mitigate the problems.
