Soil testing: Soil and water testing are preformed in our office. Soil pH and water salinity are tested once weekly. A one cup sample of soil or water is needed for each test. Please bring your sample(s) in a disposable container. You may drop off 1-6 samples, but no more than 6. Clearly mark each sample location so you will know where the sample came from in your landscape. Example, sample A, sample B, sample C etc. The sample needs to be received at our office by 5:00pm on Wednesday to be tested for that week. Soil and water test results will be available after 9am the next day. Please fill out only one form for the sample(s) you are dropping off for testing. If a more extensive test is needed the University of Florida will perform a more analytical test for a minimal fee.
