Soil Testing
The Trumbull County Extension office has soil testing kits available for sale.
Kits are $15 (Cash, Check, Credit Card) and can be purchased at our office during normal business hours or mailed (See table below for pricing). Testing is available for gardens, home lawns, farm fields, and commercial horticulture operations. The final report includes the chemical analysis of the soil along with lime and fertilizer recommendations for the crop specified. Analysis is done at a non-biased university soil testing laboratory at Penn State University.
Instructions and a soil testing fact sheet are included.
A copy of the results will be mailed to you within 10 business days. A copy will also be sent to our office, so if you have any questions Lee Beers, Agriculture and Natural Resource Educator will be able to answer them for you..
