    We have only had one done but was very happy with the run down of what state the green is in and the plan of action which come with it for the materials and work for the coming year.All good value for money .

    This is our second soil analysis and it has proved really useful. Our first one set a baseline so we knew what we needed to do. The second showed up where there were deficiencies in our approach which allowed us to make adjustments to our program. Hopefully the next one, part of our membership so no extra cost, will let us see how those adjustments have changed things.
    Without regular soils sampling it would be impossible to know what needs doing, and what should be avoided.

    I’ve done 2 soil analysis for 2 different clubs and the results are amazing. After the analysis I got 2 very thorough reports on soil pH, soil nutrient levels and a full explanation about each one.
    Then I followed the recommended programmes put together by John including what to apply (all products I have used have been excellent) and when to apply it, alongside actions such as scarifying, verticutting, grooming aeration and even mowing height.

    If you are able to follow such a programme, and are fed up with guessing at whats wrong and not getting the results you want, then I would get started right NOW!

    Highly recommend. 👌

    Received the soil analysis instructions promptly, very clear and easy to follow. The information and send off bag arrived a couple of days later as promised. Followed the instructions using the W for soil sampling as described. Collecting 500g of soil required 15 different samples across the green in my case. Looking at the samples as I took them it was obvious that different areas of the green had different areas of the green had different consistencies so the guide was really useful. Send off in the pre-paid envelope was straightforward at the local post office. Now awaiting the analysis report. All in all very easy to carry out.

    We’ve had the soil analysis four years since I took over managing the Team and each year we have followed the recommended list of materials and especially the resulting Greenkeeping program. We have seen an improvement each year. Despite the weather the green is playing better and looking better. Both have been commented on by visiting teams.

    We had our first soil sample analysis report through John at bowls central some 7yrs ago when as a complete novice, i took up the role of volunteer greenkeeper, every year since it’s been such a pleasure to see the gradual improvements in the make of the green, evidenced by the yearly soil analysis reports. There reports have highlighted deficiencies which have subsequently been addressed through a recommendation of what measures need to be taken and products applied in an individual, annual programme of work provided by Bowls Central.
    The transformation of the green, in both appearance and playability has been remarkable, Our green has gone from being one of the poorest in our league to one of the top. Soil Analysis is a must have part of tending a bowling Green. We would never have achieved the results we have made without it.

    First I would like to mention I’ve been helping our green keeper for just over 12 months he is retiring end of October and I shall be taking over. Thinking of the future I wanted to do things differently when I take over but didn’t know what until I came across bowls central the cost put me of several times but decided to take plunge and became a member.The soil sample kit I got had clear instructions sent our sample of the green. The results we received showed the good and bad aspects the green has also a clear breakdown guide from John as to the actions we should take through the year for improvements.Excellent service
    Many thanks
