I just received back results from two soil testing companies, My Soil and Simply Soil and some nutrient results were quite different and wanted to know what company would be the most reliable. Both tests were done 2 days apart. My Soil said that potassium, sulfur, zinc, copper and boron were all low while Simply Soil said they were very high. The other nutrients like PH, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus were pretty close either in the optium or very high range. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I guess each lab use different extraction and/or testing methods, check it on the reports. If those are different, the results are different, but still both are correct.

Just curious, do the two reports give you the actual results? Or just "high" "low", etc?

Simply Soil said Zinc was 3.3 ppm, Manganese 37.2 and Iron 171.0 which all 3 were very high and My Soil had these 3 at .07, 16.7 and 61.51 which were listed as low

Simply Soil.
My Soil is not a responsible testing company.

I would go with the Simply Soil test results. Those YouTube soil tests are garbage for the most part. If you are only sending in a couple Tablespoons of soil to get tested that should be your first red flag.
