How do I have my soil tested without a test mailer? #823806

Asked March 29, 2023, 9:44 AM EDT

How do I have my soil tested without a test mailer? I see that the test mailers are not available right now. We recently moved from Ohio to East Lansing. In the fall, we removed the overgrown brush from our backyard, and we are planning on planting new trees, shrubs, and perennials this spring. The soil here seems much better than the Ohio clay that we are familiar with, but I'd like to get your evaluation of any soil improvements that we should consider.
