Don’t know how many you need? Let’s measure your lawn.

Your water results and your pH readings, together in the Sward app.

WHAT’S IN THE KIT

  • Catch Cups

    6 Catch Cups on their yellow spikes, standing in a triangle of three rows on a light grey studio ground.

    6, 12 or 18 Catch Cups, to test how evenly your lawn is watered.

  • Soil pH Test Kit

    The Sward Soil pH Test Kit box, front on, on a white studio ground.

    15 soil pH tests, each ready in 10 minutes.

  • The Sward app

    The Catch Cup Test results screen in the Sward app on a phone: a Watering Score, a heatmap of the lawn and the run time each zone needs.

    Your heatmap, your Watering Score and your pH readings in one place.

HOW THE TWO TESTS WORK

  • YOUR WATER

    1. 1. PLACE Scan the code and type your address. We map your lawn and mark where each Catch Cup goes.
    2. 2. RUN Run your sprinklers for 10 minutes. The app times it with you.
    3. 3. READ Enter what each Catch Cup caught. Get your heatmap, your Watering Score out of 100 and the exact minutes each zone needs.
  • YOUR SOIL

    1. 1. SCOOP Dry a little soil from 5 to 12cm down. Fill the tube to the first mark, then add one scoop of settling powder.
    2. 2. SHAKE Add test solution to the second mark, cap it and shake hard for 5 seconds. Stand it upright for 10 minutes.
    3. 3. MATCH Hold the tube against the colour chart in daylight and match the clear liquid.

Both tests work on their own. The Sward app guides you through each one and keeps your water results and your pH readings together.

WHO THE KIT IS FOR

  • A lawn that isn’t doing well

    Check the water it gets and the soil it grows in, in one go.

  • A new lawn or garden bed

    Know how your sprinklers water it and where your soil’s pH sits from the start.

  • Lawns, beds and pots

    The Soil pH Test Kit tests lawns, garden beds, veggie patches and pots.

WHY TEST YOUR WATER AND YOUR SOIL

  • Even watering

    Catch Cups show where your sprinklers miss and how long each zone needs for 10mm. Even watering is the foundation of an even, green lawn.

  • Soil pH in range

    The Soil pH Test Kit shows where your soil sits. Getting pH in range lets your lawn and plants use the nutrients they need.

  • From the ground up

    Good lawn starts from the ground up. Test both, fix what the results show and feed only what your lawn can use.

  • Both tests for less

    The kit costs $9.99 less than its Catch Cups and a Soil pH Test Kit bought separately.

FROM PATCHY AND PALE TO EVEN AND GREEN

The Water & Soil Kit checks two things your lawn and garden need from the ground up: even watering and soil pH in range. Test both, fix what the results show, then retest to see what has changed.

  1. Test. Run a Catch Cup Test on each zone, and a soil pH test on your lawn and garden beds.
  2. Fix. Clear, straighten or match the sprinkler heads your results point to, and set each zone’s run time for 10mm.
  3. Correct. The Sward app tells you the pH your lawn or plant should be and what to use.
  4. Retest. Test your water again after the fix, and your soil when the Sward app says, to see whether your Watering Score and your pH have moved.

Good lawn starts from the ground up.

FAQ

What is the Water & Soil Kit?

The Water & Soil Kit is Catch Cups and a Sward Soil pH Test Kit in one box, with 6, 12 or 18 Catch Cups. Catch Cups test how evenly your lawn is watered; the kit tests where your soil’s pH sits.

How much do I save?

Each Water & Soil Kit costs $9.99 less than its Catch Cups pack and a Soil pH Test Kit bought separately.

Which size do I need?

Pick it by the Catch Cups your lawn needs. One Catch Cup per 12m² is the coverage guide: 6 Catch Cups cover about 70m² in one round, 12 about 145m² and 18 about 215m². Fewer still work: the Sward app can offer another round and shows you where to move them. Measure your lawn to find your pack.

Why test water and soil together?

Even watering and soil pH in range are two things a lawn needs from the ground up. Catch Cups show where your sprinklers miss; the Soil pH Test Kit shows whether your lawn and plants can use the nutrients you give them.

What if Catch Cups are already in my cart?

Add a Soil pH Test Kit and the cart makes the pair a Water & Soil Kit, at the kit’s price.

Does the Water & Soil Kit ship free?

Orders of $89 or more, after any discount, ship free, the Water & Soil Kit included. Under $89, shipping is $9.95 on orders under $50 and $12.95 from $50 to $88.99.

Do I need the Sward app for the Water & Soil Kit?

No. Both tests work on their own. The Sward app guides you through each one, turns your Catch Cup readings into a heatmap and a Watering Score, tells you the pH your lawn or plant should be and what to use, and keeps your results together.
