It is really very easy. I sent soil and tissue samples out on Monday and I got my results tonight.

Very happy with the service I get from this lab.

I suggest you start with a soil test if you have not already. Once you get the soil dialed in then you can move to tissue testing in my opinion. If the basics are not inline then I think you are wasting your time (and money) with details that a tissue test will tell you.

For example, if your soil pH is off this will lead to an entire set of other issues and the price of a soil test is a fraction of a tissue test and the information could be more beneficial.

Personally, I would suggest you find a local soil testing lab and send a sample off to them to get a standard nutrient analysis. If things look inline then I suggest you move to a tissue test.

I'm pretty sure I got the basic test last fall although I have since lost it...ph 7.1...n low...p and k showed sufficient amounts...13 % om....it just never showed boron or any of that other junk....
