Gardening Questions and Soil Testing!

The Master Gardener Volunteers are available to answer calls at 518-828-3346 x212. Please leave a detailed message. You can also reach us anytime by emailing columbiagreenemgv@cornell.edu. Photographs are helpful.

We also test soil pH. Please note this is a very busy time for soil testing and we have a limited number of volunteers to help. Turnaround could take up to a week. Soil sample test cost $3.00 per sample. Soil pH Kits cost $30.00 per kit. Call 518-828-3346 x106 for more information.
