Free Soil Testing with URI Master Gardeners

How healthy is your soil? Get it tested with the URI Master Gardeners who will be at the library on Saturday, April 8 from noon to 3 pm. The test will find out its pH, and help you decide how you can make your soil better. Prepare a sample using the following steps:

1. Dig eight scoops of dirt from the area you want to test.

2. Put the scoops in a quart baggie and mix.

3. Take one cup of dirt out of the baggie and air dry.

4. When the dirt is dry, put it in a sandwich baggie.

5. Label the baggie with a permanent marker, i.e. front lawn, vegetable garden, etc.

6. Bring up to two samples, and enjoy the library while your soil is tested. Your results will be ready in about 1/2 hour.

Free and open to all.
