SPRING LAWN, LANDSCAPE, GARDEN SOIL TESTING CAMPAIGN UNDERWAY IN WASHINGTON CO.
Landowners in Washington County are now able to take part in the Spring Lawn, Landscape, and Garden Soil Testing Campaign.
The campaign began Wednesday and runs through February 28th. It is made possible through the support of the Multi-County Ag Committee and in cooperation with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Soil, Water, and Forage Testing Lab in College Station.
The soil testing campaign offers homeowners and gardeners the opportunity to have their soil tested to determine its current fertility and receive a recommendation to improve the fertility required to maintain and produce the best possible outcome for their gardens, lawns, or landscapes. This campaign is only intended for soil analysis on non-agricultural land; only samples from lawns, landscapes, and gardens will be accepted.
Soil sample bags and submittal forms for the soil testing campaign are available at three locations in Brenham, including: the Washington County Extension Service, at 1305 East Blue Bell Road; Brenham Produce, at 1103 South Market Street; and Plants N Things, at 3900 Highway 36 South.
Cost for a routine analysis is $8, while a routine analysis with micronutrients is $15. Payment is due when samples are submitted. Sample results will be returned to the County Extension Office, then distributed to submitters via email or regular mail.
