SOIL TESTING
A soil test is the best place to start when you are trying to manage your home garden, pasture, crop or hayfields. It will give you critical information and help you fertilize your land for optimal production.
The District has all the materials you’ll need to get you started with soil and manure sampling for your farm, green house, high tunnel, or home garden. We can also help with interpretation of test results.
For more information on the soil testing process and analysis at the University of Maine Analytical Laboratory and Maine Soil Testing Service.
Manure testing – The form that needs to accompany a manure sample being sent to the University of Maine Lab is here.
