Saturated paste soil test 🧪 Inputs & Teas

A soil lab method that uses a saturated soil-water paste to estimate nutrient availability, in contrast to the tiny dry scoop used for a standard test.

Jeremy prefers the saturated paste test because the regular test uses 'the tiniest scoop ever' and is unreliable. He sends a cup of Take and Bake soil to the lab as a comparison sample.
