This annual program for organic soil testing runs every Spring.

Soil testing is important for healthy plants and clean water.  A soil test indicates nutrient levels already in your soil -- a first step in determining the amount and type of fertilizer needed for your specific plants. 

Over-application of  fertilizers can pollute water resources, ruin plants and waste money.
