Soil Testing
Looking to give your garden, lawn, or food plot an extra boost this year? Complete a soil test to know the exact amendments you need.
Sampling protocol:
-Be sure to label each bag with the location (if you are sampling from multiple locations).
-We have a core/auger tool that you may borrow and will make quick work of sampling. A spade shovel or trowel works very well also (and you probably already have at home).
-The steps are as follows: Dig a small v-shaped hole, take a thin (1/4 inch or so) slice with the shovel, and put that soil in the bag. You can take a few samples and average them out to get a representative sample of the yard, garden, or field.
-Aim for a snack-sized to quart ziplock bag worth of soil although for each sample location.
Looking to give your garden or food plot an extra boost this year? Complete a soil test to know the exact amendments you need. Bring in a sandwich sized or quart ziplock bag with accurate labeling to be submitted for sampling. Samples should be of the first few inches of topsoil and can be taken across one field an averaged in one quart sized bag. Each additional sample is $10 each. as shipping can be combined into one package.
Not confident in taking the samples yourself? Don’t worry, just call out office to arrange a time for our staff to come out. We’d love to help and can discuss any other soil, vegetation, or erosion concerns on your property!
