I can’t believe the number of requests that are being received for soil testing.
Lawn and Garden
There have been a number of requests this year for this type of testing, especially garden testing. I think this points to people really making a conscious decision to grow more of their food produce locally near their home. With a complete test like the lawn and garden soil testing kit listed on the Midwest Labs eStore, consumers can collect soil samples from different spots in their garden and receive recommendations based on their produce.
Crops
A number of growers work with soil sampling companies and crop consultants to pull samples from their property. Grid sampling continues to gain popularity in this area of sampling, but a large number of growers also prefer to sample their fields by collecting a composite sample. I am seeing a lot of growers signing up for the free soil bag promotion that was posted earlier on this site.
If you have questions about soil testing in April, contact a representative at Midwest Laboratories.
