Hello
MSU Extension doesn’t recommend brands or retailers. Therefore, we do not keep lists of soil test kits.
MSU Extension does have their own kit, which includes instructions, postage paid envelope for mailing soil to the lab, and specific recommendations for amending your soil for the plant you are growing( flowers, trees, shrubs, lawns, vegetables, etc)
This kit is also supported by Extension- if you need help interpreting the results or the recommendations we will answer your specific questions.
