Time to get your soil tested!! Don’t waste time, effort and money on applying the wrong
soil amendments to your lawn or garden.
Submitting a soil sample is simple.
Collect small portions of soil from approximately 10 random locations
that represent the average soil in the area to be tested.
Samples should be collected at a depth of about 6inches. No rocks, roots or plant parts, please) Mix the small portions together to form a composite sample. If the soil is wet,
allow it to dry (do not heat to dry).
Bring enough of the resulting mixture to fill a quart baggie to the extension office.
There is a fee to cover the cost of the testing, the cost depends on which test you are
having done. It takes 1-2 weeks to get your results back by mail.
