The complete manure test package Z002 includes: Moisture, Organic Matter, Mineral Matter, N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, S, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B, N03-N and NH4-N. Brookside is certified by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture for manure analysis.


Compost analysis is very similar to manure analysis except maturity of the compost is an important characteristic. Also the C/N ratio provides important information on the compost quality in relation to nitrogen needs or issues with compost.
