Soil Test
It is time to start thinking about taking a soil sample of your property. In general, it is better to take samples of both the front and back yards and any other areas that are used for different purposes, like a vegetable garden.
It a very simple process:
Use a small clean plastic bucket and a clean trowel or small shovel (very important)
Collect a small amount of soil from 5-6 spots in your yard on a random zig-zag pattern approximately 4″ deep
Place the soil from each spot in the bucket, removing any debris and blend together
Put the blended soil into a sandwich size baggie, filling about 2/3 of the bag. Mark the sample location on the bag
Fill out the lab’s form with all required information and attach to the sample Lynnhaven River Now Soil Sample Form.
