Autumn is one of the better times to collect a soil sample and get it sent to the lab. The Extension Office is just one of many resources to help get this done. We have soil test kits ready at the office available for $9.
We loan soil core probes for a $10 deposit, returned on receipt of the tool back to the office.
Resources to help include:
Soil Testing for Ohio Lawns, Landscapes, Fruit Crops, and Vegetable Gardens
Interpreting a Soil Test Report
Fertility Management of Meadows
Soil Testing for Ohio Lawns, Landscapes, Fruit Crops, and Vegetable Gardens
