PARP

Need your soil tested?

Cost is $30 per sample.

Bring a sample (about 2 cups worth) to the Scott County Extension Office and we can send the sample off to the lab for analysis.  

We also have a soil probe you can borrow to help get the samples of your soil.

See soil testing instructions for more information on how to collect the sample of soil.

The standard analysis will give you results for the following:

Organic Matter, Available Phosphorus, Exchangeable Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Soil pH, Buffer pH, Cation Exchange Capacity, Percent Base Saturation or Cation Elements.

If you need a plant, weed or bug identified, we can contact an Area 2 ANR educator and see if they can help identify.

Please call 812-752-8450 and we will get you in touch with someone who can help.

If you need to take a sample of your soil or hay to send off for analysis, we have the equipment in the Extension office that you can borrow to take those samples.  Stop by our office Monday- Friday, 8:30 -4:30 and we can loan them out to you.  (please call before you come to make sure someone else is not borrowing the equipment at that time)

The Purdue Extension Master Gardener Program trains gardening enthusiasts as volunteers to assist Purdue Extension with home horticulture education in Indiana communities. Purdue Extension Master Gardeners are "Helping Others Grow!" 

When will the next Scott/Washington County Master Gardener class be? The usual schedule has been “train one year, skip the next year to get those MG Interns certified as Active MG’s, then train again the following year”.
