Go to your local county extension office to get the free boxes and send them to Auburn, it is only a few bucks each.

Just got a new lease and wanting to see what I’m working with. I've been looking for one to use for my garden. A lot of variety with big difference in price, but not sure yet what's best.

Go to your local county extension office to get the free boxes and send them to Auburn, it is only a few bucks each. Definately more accurate than a DIY kit. The biggest issue is the field sampling methods employed. There can be lots of within field variation and sampling error from people that don't properly lay out or harvest their samples. These 2 resources are about all you need to know: Alabama soilssoil sampling (sorry I used one I knew about)

If you know a kid going to school at Auburn (and you trust them to make the delivery) they can drop it off at the lab on Donahue. I did this and saved the shipping cost, about $10-15 depending on # of samples, and I got my results a lot faster.

Google Waypoint Analytical Lab in Memphis, TN. I use them for all my sod farm analysis. I could send Auburn one sample split three ways and get three different numbers. At lease Waypoint passed my personal quality control test.
Don't give up, don't ever give up!

I was told the county extension office closed permanently in Pickens county. My wife is the extension coordinator in Fayette Co. I asked her about the permanent closing just now and she said that shouldn't be the case? She can get you boxes if your in the Fayette area. $7 per sample plus shipping.

She can get you boxes if your in the Fayette area. $7 per sample plus shipping. I just swung by and no one was there so I googled it to make sure i still had the right address. But I did the whitetail institute mail in test. It seems pretty thorough and was right on track with what I assumed it would be. Mo lime mo lime mo lime.
