Is the UNH Extension Service available to help test soil?  What would be the associated cost, if any?  We are a local HOA in Durham, NH.

Yes, UNH Extension does offer soil testing. It is $20 per sample and will give you a screening of pH, macronutrients, organic matter, and lead concentrations. It will also give recommendations for your specific situation.

For more information and instructions on how to take a sample, see the Soil Testing Services website.
