Hello Geralyn,
You can purchase a kit by mail ordering from the MSU Bookstore, or by visiting your nearest Extension office. See this bulletin to the websites for both of these-

I am including the new lawn preparation guide, too. Preparing the soil is the same whether you are seeding —

or sod—

We are here to help answer questions about your test results, or when you are seeding, sodding the new lawn.
