Berkeley County Soil Testing

Soil is the most important natural resource in the garden!

• Print the soil test form.
• Review and print helpful instructions.
• Call the Berkeley Extension Office if you would like to have the form mailed to you; or stop in and pick up a form.
• Send form and sample to the Soil Test Lab address on the form.

Depending on the season, getting results could take up to four weeks. Plan ahead if you want results before your spring planting. Once your results are in, you can make better sense of them by reading our publication, Converting Soil Test Recommendations to Your Needs. Dr. Mary Beth Bennett, your Berkeley County Extension Agent is always available to help you understand soil test results.
