Soil Testing for a Horticultural related analysis:

 

For a small fee, Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Rensselaer County is accepting soil samples by mail or by drop off at their new office, 99 Troy Rd Suite 203, East Greenbush, NY 12061 .

 

This horticultural soil testing is conducted at their office and provides results of pH levels which will tell you if lime or sulfur is needed in the soil to optimize soil nutrient availability.  CCE offers services for a more comprehensive test, beyond PH, if needed.  For the comprehensive soil analysis service, CCE can assist you in sending your soil samples to UMass.
