The full poop on manure

Ken, here is an alternative. I have had extensive experience with a private
lab in Ohio over the last nine years. I can review their tests and make
recommendations. http://www.loganlabs.com/testing-services.html
click on Standard Soil Test for a view.

Here is the submission worksheet. http://www.loganlabs.com/doc/submissionworksheet.pdf
Each sample is $20. To save a few dollars, you might pull three plugs from the garden, mix
them well and pull one sample from the mix to get an average.

My experience with U of AR, here, is they are way slow. Logan's turn around is 3 to 4 days and
they will submit results to you in a pdf which you can send to me.

Thanks for the info, Spike. I had already shipped off two samples to TX A&M yesterday and they got it today. Their website doesn't say a thing about turnaround times (imagine that!). But a quick check of Senor Google says that typical turnaround is 10 business days - two weeks. So we'll see. If I don't get results by first week of Feb, I'll ship a new sample off to this lab you suggest.

Thanks very much for the advice!
