Instructions for Submitting Samples:
Customer Information – Print your name and address in the space provided. Check the appropriate box as
to how you wish to receive your results. Your results can be emailed or mailed through U.S. mail. Note that
receiving the results by email is the quickest form in which you will receive your results. Please fill in your
email if this is how you would prefer to receive your results. Leave blank if you only want the results mailed

Payment Information – Enter your account number or the amount paid. The cost is $15.00 per sample

Indicate the method of payment (cash, check, or credit card) you are making. Please make checks payable
to: UW Soil Testing Lab. Include a day-time phone number so we can call you for credit card information

Your sample will be analyzed for pH, organic matter, available phosphorous (P) and available potassium (K)

Based on the results of your test and what you told us you wish to grow in the sample area, we will tell you if
you need to add nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) or potassium (K) to achieve your goal of growing these plants

We will provide you with the pH of your soil and advise you on whether or not you should lime your soil. We
will also provide you with the percent of organic matter which is currently in your soil

Some common additional tests are as follows: lead, soluble salts, or physical analysis. Other tests include the
secondary nutrients: calcium, magnesium, or sulfur, or the micronutrients boron, manganese, and zinc

Required Sample Size: 1-2 cups
Sample Description – Name your sample. In other words, describe your sample or the area in which the
sample was taken so you are able to identify which sample corresponds to which results. (This is particularly
important if several samples are submitted at the same time). Indicate the county in Wisconsin where the
sample was taken from (this is important for us to provide recommendations). Choose the appropriate
Landscape Category from the list which BEST describes the plants to be grown (for example, M4 for a mixed
bed of annual and perennial flowers and shrubs). Only one landscape category per sample, please. We
recommend that you provide us with different samples per landscape category

Topsoil Samples – If sampling from a pile of topsoil, recommendations will be given assuming the entire area
will be spread with at least 6 inches of new topsoil. If the entire top 6 inches will not be replaced and the new
topsoil will be spread over the existing soil, take the sample after spreading

Submitting Samples – Send your sample by U.S. mail, UPS or other delivery system OR drop your sample
off at the address below. Please be sure to include this sheet

Why is nitrogen not a part of the soil test regimen?

N (nitrogen) is not routinely a part of the soil-test regimen because the test has limited predictive value. Nitrogen is quite mobile in the soil and may be leached out before planting. Recommendations for its use are based on the amount of nitrogen normally needed for plant growth in a year.
