Winter Gardens
It’s time to start planning your spring gardens and lawns.
Your Cooperative Extension Service recommends taking a soil sample to your
county office for expert analysis before the spring rush.
If soil testing is done properly and the recommendations are followed, the
end result should be more effective use of fertilizers, lime and other soil
amendments and healthier and more productive lawns or gardens.
For detailed instruction on soil sampling in your area visit our website at
