March 30, 2011 - The annual Don't Guess…Soil Test! program, co-sponsored by Michigan State University Extension, Michigan Water Stewardship Program, Southeastern Oakland County Water Authority and local retailers begins this Saturday. The program runs through May 1.
Gardeners can obtain a soil nutrient and organic matter analysis through the Michigan State University Soil and Plant Nutrient Lab for $19 per sample. The price includes delivery of the soil sample to the MSU laboratory as well as a customized fertilizer recommendation.
Identifying nutrients already in the soil helps know appropriate fertilizer options -- over-application of fertilizers can pollute local lakes and rivers, reduce plant quality, and waste money. Pick up a soil testing kit at the following retailers:
Wojo's Greenhouse in Lake Orion and Oxford Farm and Garden.
