To prepare a soil sample, take a trowel and collect four to six soil samples from different locations in your garden or lawn into a bucket. Spread the sample on a sheet of newspaper and allow it to dry. Place about a half pint of the dried soil sample in a sealed plastic bag and send it to the lab.
Plant peonies for a burst of spring color
