Soil Testing: Understanding Your Garden's Needs
Why are your plants struggling? Why is your lawn thin? Instead of guessing, a soil test can give you the definitive answers. A soil test is a scientific analysis of your soil's composition, providing a detailed report on its pH level and the availability of essential nutrients. It's the single most important step you can take to create a healthier, more productive garden and lawn, saving you money on unnecessary amendments and fertilizers.
🤔 Why is Soil Testing So Important?
Gardening without a soil test is like flying blind.
🧪 How to Take a Good Soil Sample
The accuracy of your test depends on the quality of your sample.
📊 Understanding the Results
Your report will give you specific recommendations.
The report will tell you your soil's pH and provide precise recommendations on how much lime (to raise pH) or sulfur (to lower pH) to add. It will also recommend a specific fertilizer blend (N-P-K ratio) to correct any nutrient deficiencies.
