Be in the know before you grow! When purchasing a Basic Soil Analysis keep in mind that you are responsible for dropping your soil sample off at our office. We will have results in approximately 1 week from the time you drop off your soil sample.
 
A Basic soil sample will test for organic matter, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, CEC, pH, buffer pH. Reccomendations are provided with results. 
 
How to sample: 
1. For garden soils, sampling depth should be 6-8 inches. For lawns, sampling depth should be 3-4 inches below the turf.
2. Use a soil probe or shovel to collect sub-sample.
3. Take sub-samples from 5 to 10 different locations across your sample area.
4. Combine all sub-samples into a container, remove any plant material, and mix thoroughly to make one sample.
5. Fill the provided bag to the fill line, or put your sample(s) in a quart-sized baggie and bring it to the office.
