A wise man once told me �when in doubt, over engineer� I decided to use that same approach with our soil tests. I sent our representative sample (All from the same mix) for overnight delivery so that a couple days later Jeff and I could amend our soil with fertilizers and get the soil ready for the season. With the potential differences in the soil tests we went for a shotgun approach and sent samples off all over. We sent samples to the following labs: Waters Agricultural Laboratories in Georgia, Litchfield Analytical Laboratories in Michigan, A&L Analytical Laboratories in Tennessee, and A&L Great Lakes Laboratories in Indiana. Basically we sent the same dirt all across the country to get it tested to see how the different labs compared. These labs posted a 24-48 hour turn around on results. We will keep you updated.
