SOIL TESTING
UCCD offers soil testing to assist in getting high productivity from your soils.
Our basic test provides analysis for levels (low, medium, high) of available Nitrogen, Potassium, and Phosphorous, as well as soil pH level (wide range).
For small garden and lawn soils:
Soil Sample Collection
-
Take a sample from the soil surface (0 inches) to a depth of 5 inches to form a representative sample.
-
Allow the soil to dry for several hours or overnight.
-
Bring the sample in a plastic bag to UCCD.
Soil Testing:
-
UCCD will test the sample, then provide feedback and recommendations for your soil.
-
The first sample is free; each additional sample is $5.
For crops and pastures:
For larger pastures or crops, UCCD can assist with soil sampling and ship them to an analytical lab for more in-depth testing at your expense.
Please contact us if you have any questions or would like your soil tested.
