    What *would* we all do without Bobo’s input on every article concerning GMOs? Lol.

  2. Great,
    This test was obviously done within the said experts prescribed standard methods, the cheapest method available, budget dictates. The requester has no control over this aspect.
    They do not test soil for toxic substances, so in truth it isn’t an accurate accounting of a real soil sample. Just sampled for ph and nutrients, toxins not a value or big deal according to the experts?
    So this dude was provided a useless testing and result and now has to waste more money and find another lab, or request another test from this obviously derelict company. I’d go somewhere else, because they just wasted the dudes time and money.
    Common customer result, oh well at least I got a soil testing done.
    Isn’t toxic elements important in regards to nutritional values, since they could pose human health issues?
    I have submitted samples before, although a different element. But bottom line everything was included in the report, including the indicators of contaminates and percentages, why?
    Because then trouble shooting SOP’s could be initiated and the systems and attributing factors could be researched and studied and corrections could be made.
    Facts, education, experience, knowledge and lessons learned. All of this is designed to prevent future replication of the same mistakes and train additional personnel as future experts in this field.
    I also ran a lab before, but was just assigned to trouble shoot internal problems and develop and revise the existing SOP’s.
    Bottom line leadership was not trained and not fully function-able, creating havoc and chaos with the lower subordinates, resulting in delays and rendering the process inefficient. Due to the leadership, human error was multiplied and the training process was effectively nil due to applying ineffective personnel management processes.

    My bottom line assessment of this soil sample report, it is a piss poor job, leaving too much in question.
