Here in the Peoples Republic, they charge and arm and laig for testing soil at the County Extension. If anybody nose where us pore saps in Calif can send a sample for testing for pocket change, I would sure like to find out.


It's 2 months later now. I decided to forget the testing and just put down 10-10-10 and periennial rye I already had. All looks fine now except a few thin spots. After winter, I'll dig those up and replace the top soil with good dirt and plugs from the rest of the yard.
