Soil Testing

Soil testing is important to:

  • learn which nutrients are present in your soil
  • learn which nutrients may need to be added based on what you’re trying to grow
  • avoid over-application (and save money!)
  • protect local streams, lakes, rivers and groundwater by avoiding runoff of excess fertilizers
