Expert Response
Thanks for contacting OSU Extension. A soil test is very worth the investment as it is generally very cheap to get one. It is worth spending money on a soil test vs. unnecessary fertilizer or other amendments that may not be needed. Results and recommendations usually take 1-4 weeks.
