If you wish to have your soil tested for more of these items, see the soil lab price list. You can indicate additional tests desired on the original form you send in with your sample, or call the lab about performing additional tests on a soil sample you recently sent in. Reference the lab # at the top of your report. Part of your sample is kept for a period of time in case additional or repeat tests are needed.
