Soil Test Kits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Testing your soil is the best way to check the growing potential of your garden and better understand which nutrients are lacking and, sometimes more importantly, which nutrients may be too abundant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over-fertilizing is a common gardening problem. It’s not only expensive but may harm your garden\u2019s production and your environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Routt County Extension uses ServiTech<\/strong><\/a> for all soil testing needs. Soil-testing kits can be picked up at the Routt County Extension office M-F between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/div>
