Gardeners, farmers, and researchers who want insights into their soil and fertilizer recommendations have been sending samples to the UMN Soil Testing Laboratory. “The soil test is the place to start when you’re growing anything, so you don’t end up over-fertilizing, which ends up in the Mississippi River,” said Andrew Scobbie to the Pioneer Press.
