Fall is a great time to get your soil tested! 📣 Submitting a sample now means a shorter wait time for your results and you have time to apply lime, which takes months to effectively adjust your soil pH. If you've submitted a sample before, note that there have been recent changes to the submission process. We now have an online portal where you will submit forms and get your results!

Read more about those changes and learn how to submit a sample here: https://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/articles/2026/soil-testing-laboratory-launches-new-online-management-system.html
