    Hello,

     First of all we really enjoyed the recent invasive species talk - thank you for organizing that. Secondly, can anyone advise; does the Association offer soil testing or suggest sources that do such testing. Also, for the forum: What is considered a fair price for such services.?


    Thanks,

    Hi Tim,

    The OWA doesn't provide soil testing.

    There are many soil testing labs in Ontario. A few include A & L Canada, SGS and the University of Guelph Agriculture and Food Lab.

    https://www.sgs.com/en-ca/industry/agriculture-and-forestry

    Costs will depend on a variety of factors such as the quantity and metrics being tested.

    You may also be interested in a few recent articles in The Ontario Woodlander about soil. Take a look at issue 113 pg. 20 and issue 115 pg. 54.
