Lawn and Garden Soil Test

Lawn Soil TestIt is that time of the year to add some nutrients back to your soil. This is really critical for those of you who experienced this year’s drought. I recently added some nitrogen fertilizer about two weeks ago and I cannot believe the difference a little fertilizer and water can make. I feel like I finally restored my lawns condition back to where it was this past spring.

Check out this video which looks at the basics of getting a healthy lawn by applying the correct fertilizer application in the fall. It all starts with a soil test.

At Midwest Laboratories, I have seen a lot of lawn samples this fall.  Turnaround time is 3 days once we receive your soil sample.  You can simply fill a ziploc bag with your sample for analysis.  If you would like supplies sent to your location, you can find out more on the Midwest Labs eStore. The analysis lists at $25.00 per sample and includes recommendations.
