Fox Farm’s Happy Frog Soil Lab Test

Fox Farm’s Organic Happy Frog potting soil is one of the most popular soils for houseplants, vegetables and fruits grown at home. It is by far my favorite and in my opinion the best soil to use for all types of plants and in this video, I support lab evidence by University of Delaware’s soil testing program.

How to Prepare your Soil to Grow Plants

The following tests were conducted on the soil:

GH-1. SME Media Analysis
pH, EC, Saturated Media Extract Analysis for P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Zn, Cu,
Fe, B, S, Na, Al, NO3 -N and NH4 -N.

Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur and trace elements are some of the most important nutrients for all plants and by knowing what your soil has before you start adding more is crucial to providing a well balanced soil medium for your plants.

To balance this soil out, I would add something with high nitrogen and the best products that I would recommend for synthetic is:

2nd: https://amzn.to/46UQdT9

I would gradually add it to the soil to make up for the low levels measured starting at 150 ppm and only increase it when you notice signs of deficiency.

For an organic solution, I would add https://amzn.to/3XcVEcR a week advance to let the mycorrhizae break it down and also add https://amzn.to/3YMDpMv for trace elements which came back as low in the lab test.
