Soil test

I dug up soil samples from four different planting areas: lawn, front flower bed, berm, and hillside native plant area. I took about 10 samples from each area. I am drying them out before mixing and taking one cup from each to send for soil tests.

I'm sending to UMass Amherst, as this is one of several recommended test facilities. The soil test will tell me pH and nutrients and other information about my soil. It will come back with nutrient and pH adjustment recommendations for each area tested.
