Soil Testing

Overview

Drop off soil samples at Clallam Conservation District (CD)! Getting your soil tested is crucial for understanding its nutrient levels and pH balance, which allows you to make informed decisions that promote healthy plant growth and prevent costly mistakes. It’s a smart, science-backed step to ensure your lawn, garden, or crops thrive efficiently and sustainably.

How It Works

• Clallam CD accepts soil for testing the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month. 

• Test results usually take approximately 2 to 3 weeks to process, and our planners can help you interpret your results. 

• As of February 11, 2025 our soil testing prices have increased to $35 due to an increase in both laboratory analysis and postage fees. 

• AT LEAST 2 pounds of soil is needed for testing, which is typically equivalent to a gallon size Ziploc bag 1/2 to 3/4 full.

Please read our Soil Test Brochure for details on how to appropriately take and submit your soil sample.
