How to Collect a Soil Sample

Getting a soil test is simple:

  1. Contact your local Extension office to obtain a soil test kit
  2. Collect samples 3 inches deep from 8–10 random locations
  3. Mix samples thoroughly in a clean bucket
  4. Place the mixture into the sample bag provided and submit it

Your results will provide precise recommendations for nutrient and lime applications. If you have questions, your local county agent is available to assist.
