Dear Sharon,

Thanks for writing to us about soil tests. The price of testing depends on which type(s) of tests you request. We do not keep a price list, but the following links include a list of labs and other information about soil tests. Be sure to let the lab know what you are planting (lawn, vegetables, shrubs, etc.)

Note that some labs do not provide the nitrogen (N) content because this mineral moves so rapidly through plants and soil. It rapidly washes out of the soil through rain and irrigation and changes continuously. If planting vegetables, nitrogen may need to be replenished frequently but in very small amounts. (Follow directions on package labels exactly as required by law.)

Please write again any time you have questions.
