To test your garden soil for arsenic, you need to take samples of soil from holes dug 8 to 10 inches deep. Take the sample from various locations and allow them to dry. After the samples have dried, put them in a plastic bag and send them to lab for testing. Visit http://www.ehow.com/how_5898850_manually-test-soil-arsenic.html for detailed instructions.

call the municipal building in your town. they will advise you who to call. at one time this type of service was free. however, with all the cuts to services you may have to pay. in nj the agency was called : the home extension service.
