Key facts for Connecticut
- Homeowners submit soil samples by downloading the UConn submission form, collecting about 1 cup of mixed soil, and then either mailing the sample with the form/payment or hand-delivering it through the Plant & Soil Health Center in Storrs.
- UConn’s current official Soil Nutrient Test Pricing page lists the basic routine test, “Standard Nutrient Analysis (Modified Morgan),” at $18.00 per sample.
- To find a county UConn Extension office, use UConn Extension’s official “Extension Locations” page, which lists the county centers statewide. UConn’s current soil-testing pages mention sample kits may be available at selected Extension locations, but the official submission instructions I found direct homeowners to mail or hand-deliver samples to the lab/Plant & Soil Health Center rather than describing a general county-office drop-off program.
