If you want more than one sample (eg. from several places around your yard) it's much more efficient and cost effective (here they charge $5 per test) to get a kit of your own. The kit to do 10 tests was about $10 last time I bought one - a long time ago.

A soil test kit would be a good tool to have, especially as I get more experience at digging in the dirt, but I think I'll move the azaleas to a spot more to their liking. Since it appears to be a good spot for roses, I'll get a couple more of different colors to put there. Is there such a thing as purple roses? That's my wife's favorite color.
