GroundWork Soil Lab provides soil biology lab testing and consultancy services to growers, gardeners, and compost producers in the Pacific Northwest.
Traditional soil testing only offers chemistry analysis, missing the crucial biological component.
Our Soil Biology Report reveals the microorganisms making nutrients available to your plants.
We work with nature to repair soil microbiomes, restoring degraded lands and nutrient-poor soils.
Break down organic matter
Create soil structure
Release nutrients
Control pests
A healthy soil food web creates a self-sustaining ecosystem that supports plant growth naturally, reducing the need for chemical inputs and improving resilience to environmental stresses.
We analyze your current soil biology to identify imbalances and deficiencies.
Based on findings, we develop a customized plan to restore your soil's microbiome.
We guide you through applying biological amendments and management practices.
Regular follow-up assessments track progress and adjust strategies as needed.
Properly functioning soil biology improves nutrient availability, leading to healthier plants and better harvests.
Improved soil structure enhances water retention and reduces irrigation needs.
Balanced soil ecosystems naturally suppress pathogens and reduce pest pressure.
Reduced need for fertilizers, pesticides, and other inputs lowers operational costs.
