Right, thanks.
It’ll have to wait now till after the next shift, so it’ll be even dryer!
Doing my own, not sending mine, though.
Cheers

Dry enough that if it was around your plant you would water it. 12 hours of air drying at room temperature is sufficient. The drying is mostly to speed processing times at the lab and reduce shipping costs.

Where do you send your soil samples? Curious if you have the test do organic matter and soil type evaluation as well as what you cover?
