Soil Testing

Soil testing is the process of analyzing soil samples to determine its nutrient content, pH level, and other key characteristics that affect plant growth. This technique is essential for understanding the specific needs of the soil in a garden or landscape, allowing for more accurate and effective fertilization, soil amendment, and planting decisions. Soil testing can reveal deficiencies in essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as issues with soil acidity or alkalinity. Regular soil testing helps to ensure that plants receive the proper nutrients and growing conditions, leading to healthier, more productive gardens and landscapes.
