True, but your local Extension Office can get it done as
well,
and for less. And with the same good recommendations.

Depending on whre you live, extension offices don't necessarily
perform soil
testing any longer. Mine hasn't for years - soil tests must be
sent to a
commercial lab.


Goodness! What DO they do? Here in Florida, Extension hands out
the collecting kits, and the samples are sent to Extension HQ at
the University of Florida (along with $20) and a detailed soil
analysis and recommendation is forthcoming -- and quite soon,
too. They'll also ID bugs, odd plants, diseased plants, etc. if
the local extension office can't.
