Analyse du sol DCM
This soil analysis kit is almost a scam: instead of the promised "personalised advice," all I received was an extremely brief result accompanied by the most basic of "advice." Very, very disappointing. I regret my purchase.

This Teskit DCM Soil Analysis allows for an easy and quick test to determine the acidity and nutrient status of the soil before planting, in order to improve it if necessary. Thanks to the DCM Garden app, the obtained results are immediately transformed into personalized advice, tailored to your lawn, garden, and/or vegetable patch. For landscaping and maintenance, as well as for solving specific problems. One measurement for multiple pieces of advice.
When setting up a new ornamental garden or vegetable patch, or before planting a lawn, it is interesting to be able to assess the soil structure, acidity or, conversely, alkalinity of the soil, its physical structure, as well as its richness in different essential nutrients for plant development. In case of observed imbalance, it is always possible to intervene to correct deficiencies and improve the soil using amendments. It is therefore recommended to perform a soil analysis before planting. This will inform you about some important parameters: major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content), trace elements (iron, copper, boron, zinc), pH (acidic or basic), and organic matter content. These data will allow you to provide accurate advice to optimize the success of your plantations. Knowing your soil well also allows you to sensibly give up on growing a plant that would be doomed to fail in the conditions offered by your garden, for example, installing acidophilous species in limestone soils.
Soil analysis can be carried out throughout the year, except during the freezing period. It is advisable to perform a test once a year. Generally, sandy soils need to be checked more frequently than clay soils, because their pH (acidity, neutrality, alkalinity) and nutrient content change more rapidly.
The kit contains:
- 1 plastic cup with lid
- 1 silver sachet
- 1 filter paper
- 1 filter paper containing a strip
- 1 reference card with a color scale to interpret the colors that appear on the strips you used for your soil sample.
- 1 complete manual with step-by-step instructions.
Instructions for use:
1/ Take at least 3 soil samples at a depth of 10 cm (4in), well distributed throughout the entire garden or in a specific area that you want to analyze, for example, between already established plants or at the precise location where you plan to plant.
2/ Place the samples, for example, in a bucket and mix well.
3/ Take a portion of this mixture and transfer it to the plastic cup for analysis.
The DCM GARDEN app or website is free. It allows you to enter the analysis results for your garden. Beforehand, enter the unique code found on the explanatory manual. Then enter the 2 obtained values (number + letter) and immediately receive detailed and personalized advice.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
