When in doubt, check it out

Unsure about which and how much fertilizer to use? Got questions about soil pH? Test your soil!

Soil and Water Testing Soils, Water & Forage Analytical Laboratory - Price List

A soil test can prevent a "shot in the dark" concerning fertilizer applications.  General soil tests consist of 12-20 core samples per location, minus any plant matter (ex: turf from the soil surface).  The cores can then be combined and mixed to get a representative sample of your specific location.  Routine tests cost $10 per sample.  You can bring your sample to the Cleveland County Extension Office at 601 E Robinson, Norman, Oklahoma.  

For more information, contact the Cleveland County Extension office (405) 321-4774.
