soil testing
 

Anyone have any recommendations for soil testers here in Dallas TX area? (or anywhere for that matter)
I want to get it tested but when I query google I get all kinds of rubbish so I think I would rather go on a recommendation if anybody has one.

eggcellent! Thank you ... again

I've been very happy with loganlabs.com, basic test, $25.00.

You should use a lab in your region. They are using extractants that are calibrated to soils in your area.
For example, here in the Mid-Atlantic, labs use the Mehlich 3 test.
Other areas use Mehlich 1 and so on.
The results could all be reported in PPM or poor/adequate/excellent, but mean different things relative to what they are extracting with/calibrated to.
