Soil testing available at the Mahoning County Extension Office

The Mahoning County Extension Office is now testing soil samples to help ensure healthy summer plants and gardens.
Soil samples can be dropped off anytime at the Mahoning County Extension Office, located at 490 S. Broad St., Canfield, OH, 44406.
Samples should be placed in a plastic bag with a name on it, and dropped off in the marked crate located at the back door of the office.
According to Mahoning County Extension Office, to collect a sample, take 10 – 15 cores at 8 inches deep from random locations throughout the testing site. Mix these cores together and bring one cup of soil as the sample.
The cost of testing is $20 per sample, and payment should be provided in an envelope with either check or exact change. Envelopes can be slid between the back doors into the receiving bin inside, which will be checked regularly by OSU Extension. Please include: Name, address, phone number and email in the envelope, or simply fill out the submission form found here.
