You can take a soil sample any time of the year, although it's best not to do so when the soil is extremely wet. The fall months are probably ideal. The number of samples needed from a particular area depends on the uniformity of the soil and its past treatment. Refer to the appropriate information below for instructions on how to obtain a representative sample.

Soil sample boxes and information sheets are available at your local Cooperative Extension office.(Processing may be delayed for soil samples not received in official sample boxes).

Sampling and mailing instructions are found on the sample boxes and forms which should be sent directly to the lab with your soil sample and payment.

Laboratory reports are emailed directly back to the email address(es) provided on the sample information sheet. A hard copy of a report can be obtained from your local Virginia Cooperative Extension office, which can provide additional assistance if needed.

There is not really a "soil test kit" per se. You will need a sample submission form available online and a sample box, which you can get from either the loading dock of the Agronomic Services lab in Raleigh, or from your local county cooperative extension office. In some counties, the local hardware stores may have boxes as well. Detailed information on collecting samples may be found on the "Collect Samples" page.

Diagnostic testing is used for "diagnosing" a fertility problem with the soil when an problem is occurring. Examples of this may be stunted growth, patches in the lawn, or discolored plants. To submit a diagnostic sample, collect samples from both the problem location and from a healthy location for comparison. Collecting and submitting corresponding plant tissue samples may be helpful as well.

Sample IDs are a combination of up to 5 letters or numbers created by the person submitting samples and should be listed on both the soil box and the submission form. The sample IDs should reflect where the sample was collected and will allow the client to correlate the report data to specific areas of sample collection. Sample IDs are critical to understanding your soil report.

Example: Someone has a primary home in Charlotte that they submit samples for, but they also have a home at the beach and want to submit samples for that property. They could use farm ID's "home" for the main home and "beach" for the other.

The department offers technical assistance to homeowners and local health agencies regarding water sample results, health issues and water treatment; and regulates private water supplies of lodging, daycare, and food establishments. Water testing of these establishments is performed on a regular schedule to ensure these water supplies meet drinking water standards for safe water.

The Missouri State Public Health Laboratories (MSPHL) tests approximately 7,000 private water samples for bacteria annually. Property owners may submit samples from private wells or other drinking water sources for bacterial testing. Samples must be submitted in collection kits provided by the MSPHL. These kits are available through the local public health agencies or State District Health Offices. The $10 handling fee (check or money order only) must be included with the sample or testing will not be performed.

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a member of the coliform group of bacteria and is found only in humans and warm-blooded animals. E. coli in the drinking water indicates that it has been recently contaminated with human or animal wastes.

Iron bacteria occur naturally in the soil and derive its energy by oxidizing iron, manganese or aluminum. This oxidizing process creates a reddish-brown slime which over time can build up, clogging screens, well pumps, faucets, pipes, tanks etc. Iron bacteria are not harmful, but it does produce an unpleasant taste and odor.
