If you come to drop off a soil sample during our lunch hour, we have a soil sample station outside our door. It's got everything you will need: bags, shovel, manila envelopes for payment and a form to fill out with your contact information. Soil samples are $8 each. You can drop your cash (exact change) or check in a manila envelope and slide it under our door. Or you can choose to pay via credit card.
