TAKING A SOIL SAMPLE FOR FERTILIZER RECOMMENDATIONS  
Where to sample   
 
• A soil sample should represent a given area of your lawn or garden that is treated or used similarly (for example, 
front yard, back yard, planting bed, garden and etc.).  
• Sample areas separately if you observe distinct differences in slope, soil texture (for example sandy areas 
verses clayey) or water drainage. 
 
Collecting a soil sample 
 
• Using a trowel or similar tool, scrape away any non-decomposed plant tissue and materials.     
• Next, cut a core or divot 6 inches deep into the soil and place soil in a clean plastic container.  Repeat this step 
8 to 10 times in the lawn or garden which is being considered for testing.    
• Mix all collected soil thoroughly, removing any roots or other visible plant materials and place 2-3 cups of soil in 
a quart-sized re-sealable plastic bag.  Air-dry soil if sample feels wet to the touch.    
• Label the bag with a permanent marker, using the sample sample ID as listed on the front of this form.   
Mailing your soil sample 
 
• Complete the information form on the front page (this information is required for you to receive fertilizer 
recommendations that are based on your soil test results). Incomplete information (e.g., lack of name, address, 
crop information and etc.) may result in delay of testing or receipt of results.  
• Please include payment with the sample. Please note that the price is per sample. Send check or money order 
made out to Soil Testing Laboratory. DO NOT SEND CASH. For credit card payment, complete form below.  
• Place the plastic sample bag, completed submittal form, and your check or money order for the appropriate fees
