Lawn and Garden Tips to Help Curb Stormwater Pollution

I know school is almost out for summer but here’s a test you just can’t fail!

Soil tests show you exactly what you need to do to grow a healthy yard this spring, helping you save money and keep our water free of excess chemicals.

Polluted runoff is the nation’s greatest threat to clean water. As stormwater flows over and infiltrates lawns it picks up chemicals, and other pollutants and that pollution is carried into the water bodies we use for swimming, fishing, and drinking.

Think of it as a customized self-care routine for your lawn! Order soil test kits from UMass Amherst Soil and Plant Nutrient Testing Lab by clicking HERE.
