Is Soil Sold For Gardening Tested For Lead Or Arsenic?
Q: Is soil sold for gardening routinely tested for lead or arsenic? Should I be concerned?
A: My bet is that all of the commercial or bagged soils are tested for lead. I doubt that bulk soil, delivered by the truckload, is tested. It is easy to submit a sample of soil to the University of Georgia soil laboratory for testing. It only costs $12.00. Your local UGA Extension office can provide instructions.
