Soil Test Interpretation Rules Relaxed

Post by andy10917 » May 11th, 2019, 9:18 am

Around May 10th, Spring traffic for Soil Test Interpretations peaks, and we can be a little more relaxed about allowing brand-new members to submit tests without impacting long-time loyal members to wait for their results. This pattern has repeated year after year for a decade.

So, we're relaxing the rules about the submissions by new members at this time - it's first-come, first-served from here on out for the rest of the season.

The rules that only tests from Logan Labs being interpreted for free (or at all) remain. We can't spend lots of time learning each lab's test suite and results. Tests submitted from other labs will be politely declined, and removed from the waiting queue without discussion.

I've read the thread on submissions, but could you please confirm that I correctly understand how this works?

I just sent out my samples to Logan; one is my landlord 's property that I rent and have been taking care of for a few years, and the other is his home property that I've been helping him with this year. Will I be able to receive an analysis of both tests? If so, should I make separate threads for them? I think I've seen multiple tests in a single thread, just want to be sure. Thanks.

You'll have to see whether it comes back on one page or two. In Busy Season, it's one interpretation per person - but Busy Season is over.

Thanks. I think it will be two pages based on how I filled out the submission form.

Hey, Andy.

I have the results for the property I rent. Would it be ok to start a new thread for it? Just double checking. Thanks.
