The training is offered in collaboration with the Arroyo Colorado Watershed Partnership.
Attendees can submit a soil test by picking up and dropping their soil sample and Urban Information sheet off to the AgriLife Extension offices for Cameron, Hidalgo, or Willacy counties prior to or by one week after the meeting. They can also bring their soil sample to the training.
The training will include information on how to understand soil test results and nutrient recommendations so residents can interpret results once the analysis is emailed to them.
