i read online that the DIY jobs are often very incorrect.
rutgers does the tests, and you can contact your local extension office to get the kit. $20 for the kit and basic test. they do more advanced tests as well for more money
It makes sense that a lab would be most accurate; perhaps landscapers use the DIY kits...
Do you have have to deliver the kit to New Brunswick to be tested? I would hope there would be a closer place.

you do have to deliver, but i think you can send it in. i'm stopping to get the stuff today or tomorrow, so i'll let you know. i need to improve my lawn, so i'm trying to decide what to do. i noticed your thread in gardening, you're probably not far from me! i'm evaluating my lawn care options, trying to lean towards organic feeds due to dog and infant!

I have a dog and children as well, so I would really prefer something organic myself.
I found a few forums on Gardenweb that might be useful to you:
Lab testing is more accurate but samples must be taken from more than one area. Follow the directions on obtaining the sample closely for accurate results.
