 Capsules Break Down, One Time Use September 1, 2010
Consumer 1011100100 (MD)
The biggest problem with the kit is that after some time the capsules break down. The chemicals inside eat their way out of the plastic and who knows if the test is accurate after that has happened. I used the kit in spring of 2010 and it worked nicely. About 3 months later I went to use it again for a fall planting and the capsules had corroded. I know that this is not a fluke as I found the same kits in a hardware store and all of them were corroded in the same fashion. I used the kit anyway and compared results to a brand new different test I bought. The results did not coincide. Consider the kit a one time use and it is fine. However, the newer kit I bought (not on amazon but can be found in the big blue hardware stores) has cylindrical tubes and tablets foil packed like some pharmacy drugs. It is faster (the kit I am reviewing makes you wait 30min to 24hrs at one point), easier, cheaper, clearer, uses less soil and I think the capsules will last longer. I highly recommend you skip the capsule kits and buy the foil packed one. Happy Gardening!
 Good for testing August 1, 2010

Product was very good for testing the soil. It was eay to use and instuctions were easy to follow. The one draw back is the information on how to fix problems with the soil was not very good.
Great and simple to use May 18, 2010

I used this test several times each with difficulty. Tubes easily fall over spilling the content and a funnel seems to be the best way of emptying the content of the capsules.
I will not know until spring if it was worth pursuing
