Free Soil Testing

October 24 at 12pm

At Governors Island Ferry

Financial District, New York

Bring a cup of dry soil from 6-8 inches deep
Especially smart if kids play or you grow veggies

Bring a scoop of your yard's dirt and the Urban Soils Institute will zap it with a handheld X-ray gun to check for lead, arsenic, and other nasties. It's quick, free, and genuinely useful if you garden or have kids playing outside.

They recommend it:
