The U of Idaho "Extension" office has many links related to soil testing. It looks like Ada county makes it easier than other counties, but you can get contact info for your county, then call someone local and ask them what's the least expensive way to get a soil test done. (Your local extension agent if a good person to maker a friend of.)

Ada County also has many free clinics.
