FREE SOIL TEST for Corpus Christi Residents



The Real Dirt!!!

Yes.. it is true. For a limited time only.
FREE SOIL TEST!!

The Corpus Christi Storm Water Department is sponsoring up to 200 individual soil tests for residents of Corpus Christi from January 1 - January 31, 2012. The same analysis at the normal rate would be 10$.

"Excess fertilizer can pollute storm water runoff. As part of the effort to reduce the introduction of fertilizers into receiving bodies of water, the Storm Water Department and Texas AgriLife Extension Center are co-sponsoring free soil testing during the month of January 2012."

Corpus Christi residents can pick up soil testing kits at local plant retailers and can turn in their samples at one of three locations:
  • City Hall
  • Water Utilities Building (2726 Holly),
  • Texas AgriLife Extension Service in Robstown. (710 E. Main Ave.)
This is a great opportunity form every gardener and "yardener" to take advantage of a great service that will save everyone money, time and the environment.

It's time to get the facts!
What fertilizer do you choose and how much do you REALLY need?

The answers are ahead.........

Pick up your FREE...(DID I SAY FREE!!!!!) soil test campaign packet at local nurseries and get head start on the spring green-up.

Happy Gardening!!
