Why test your soil?

Whether you're a beginning farmer, or an experienced agricultural producer you know that plants need food (nutrients) for healthy growth. Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potash (N, P and K for short), play a vital role in plant growth just as vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and protein do in our health.

Plants also need the correct pH (acidity / alkalinity) level, which controls how well plants utilize the nutrients available in your soil. All plants have a pH preference, so it is important to know the pH level of your soil. You can then choose plants with the same pH preference, avoid those that will not do well in your soil or know how to go about supplying their special growing needs. By testing your soil, you determine its exact condition so that you can fertilize and/or adjust pH more accurately, effectively, and economically.

When to test your soil?

Soil should be tested periodically throughout the growing season, but it is especially recommended to test before planting in spring and when preparing beds in fall. And, if you feel your plants are not growing well, a soil test may help.
