The Example Soil Test Reports are in a similar format as you'll receive from the University of Minnesota Soil Testing Laboratory. One example is for a home lawn and the other is for a vegetable garden. The two examples cover two very different situations. Reviewing them will help you understand your own report regardless of what you are growing. The example soil test reports can be found here: Example Soil Test Report – Home Lawn (PDF), Example Soil Test Report – Vegetable Garden (PDF).
