 Are
you frustrated with the performance of your lawn or garden?
Chances are, your soil needs help! Let a Soil Doctor examine your soil
and prescribe what is
needed to help keep it healthy with a soil testing kit, available at the
SWCD Office.
The Soil Doctor checks your lawn or garden for soil pH, lime
requirements, potassium and phosphorus and prescribes fertilizer to
match your needs for lime,phosphorus,
potassium and nitrogen. A report will be mailed to you promptly
after the sample is received and analyzed. The Soil Doctor Kit
includes sampling instructions, sample bag, prepaid soil mailer and a
soil information sheet. $18 (include with sample when sending-DO NOT PAY
SWCD) includes comprehensive laboratory analysis, report generation and
mailing. There are no complicated procedures or special
tools needed - any garden shovel or hand potting tool will work.
Don't delay, see what your prescription is today with a Soil Doctor kit!
The SWCD just has the kits; we do not do the testing. Get your kit
at the SWCD Office, 4833 Owen Center Road, Rockford Monday through
Friday 8am to 4:30pm.
