Hello Yusuf
That is a good idea!
You can order a soil test kit online through the MSU Bookstore, or call your closest County MSU Extension office to check if they have them in stock. (Always call the office first to be sure they are open).
The links to the Bookstore(online) and the County Extension offices is here- https://homesoiltest.msu.edu/get-started
Another good resource to keep handy is the MSU Garden website, if you haven’t tried it out yet. There are many topics- lawns, vegetables, flowers, trees, etc.
