How can I get my soil tested?

Nancy Murphy

Soil fertility testing is performed at the University of Tennessee Soil, Plant and Pest Center located at Ellington Agricultural Center in Nashville, Tennessee. http://soilplantandpest.utk.edu/soil/index.htm 

The basic soil test includes soil pH, buffer value, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, calculated CEC and base saturation all for the price of $7.00 per sample. Turnaround is typically 2 to 5 days and results are routinely mailed but can be e-mailed or faxed.
