Biological Analysis

Biological Analysis

At Ecothrive HQ, we provide a comprehensive Soil Food Web Microscopy Assay conducted entirely in-house. This in-depth analysis measures the bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes present in each millilitre of your soil or compost, offering valuable insights into the biological health of your sample. 

Why Multiple Tests?

While a single test provides a useful snapshot of your soil or compost, we’ve found that averaging results from three tests offer a more reliable and representative overview. To make this approach more accessible, we now offer 25% off the cost of three tests when purchased together.

Additionally, we supply custom compost mixes and biological inoculums tailored to optimize soil biology and bring it into a more favourable range for your specific needs.

Why Test Your Soil?

Living soil techniques are constantly evolving, and achieving consistent, high-quality results, especially when reusing soil, requires more than intuition. Soil testing provides a scientific foundation for:

• Enhance the quality and consistency of your yields.
• Minimize nutrient imbalances and associated risks.
• Improve soil biology for long-term sustainability.

With detailed soil analysis combined with modern organic growing techniques, we help growers achieve optimal outcomes while maintaining sustainable practices, enabling the reuse of soil for multiple growing cycles.

Turnaround Time and Additional Services

• Fast Results: Our Soil Biology Test typically delivers results within 1–2 working days of sample receipt.
• Additional Support: We also offer a range of lab services, including detailed soil chemistry analysis, to help you refine your organic growing methods for healthier plants and better results.
