Good advice. But would like to have more than N, K & P and acidity. I = suspect one part of the yard (not near the fruit & vegs) may have some = contamination from oil. Not enough for a gusher - I think there used to = be an oil storage tank on that part of the back 40.

Just out of curiosity, what do they actually charge at the County Extension? Here in NJ, last time I did it which was probably 5 years or so, I think it was about $15, which doesn't seem like such a bad deal to me for an occasional test.
This place does them for $25
But, quite frankly before doing that, I'd make sure I thought through the consequences of getting the results. One being that right now you don't know you have any contaminaed soil. Once you have a report saying you do, then you have an obligation to disclose that to a future buyer. Also, who knows what the laws in CA say about what a property owner who discovers oil contamination is legally required to do.

Yeah, I'm not that curious. It's most likely a disease or pest.

It's 2 months later now. I decided to forget the testing and just put = down 10-10-10 and periennial rye I already had. All looks fine now = except a few thin spots. After winter, I'll dig those up and replace = the top soil with good dirt and plugs from the rest of the yard.
