Is our Sandy Springs office a little too far for you to drop off your soil samples? You’re in luck! You can now drop off samples at the North Fulton Farm Bureau in Roswell.
The process is simple:
- Collect your soil samples using the instructions in Soil Testing for Home Lawns, Gardens and Wildlife Food Plots. Dry out your samples overnight and put them in labeled ziplock bags.

- Transfer your soil to the UGA paper sample bags, fill out your intake paperwork, and leave your samples in the drop box. It’s that easy!
- UGA Extension agents will pick up your samples within three days and send you a link to pay for your samples online.
- While you’re there, talk to the amazing team at Farm Bureau about all the work they do to support farmers and community members.
Why Take Soil Samples?
Taking soil samples is the best way to learn crucial facts about your soil and set up your plants for success. Soil tests tell you soil pH, which must be within a range suitable to the plants you want to grow, as well as soil macro- and micronutrients required by your plants. Your soil test report tells you exactly how to amend your soil to get it in balance and give your plants what they need.
