Free Soil Testing

We’re excited to partner with URI’s Master Gardener program to provide free pH testing again this season. Testing your soil is a good way to learn more about the dirt under your feet. Healthier soil means healthier plants, which you really want to focus on when planting fruit and vegetable gardens. (We’re looking at you community garden plots!) In city environments, it’s especially important to know whether you have toxins in your yard before planting anything edible. High toxin levels are fairly common in our neighborhoods due to Providence’s industrial history, but we can work together to improve soil health!
