I'm interested in having the soil in my yard tested, so I can add the
appropriate materials when planting plants with different needs, but I
don't know who to contact for this service. Can anyone tell me the
appropriate entity to contact for soil testing in the triangle area?

Thanks!

Here's the link for more info:

4300 Reedy Creek Rd., Raleigh. 3 weeks turn around time right now.
Everyone has the same thought and the farm operators come first.

They have sample boxes there you can pick up and fill with dirt. Make
sure you note exactly where you got the sample, both on the box and in a
note to yourself, before you bring them in for testing. Otherwise it's
easy to forget exactly where a sample came from. There are also master
gardeners on staff there who can answer just about any gardening question.

Thanks for the info, Baine - looks like everyone really does have the
same thought at the same time!
