“Glad you had your soil analyzed. It is really the first and most important step in garden planning”

Are DIY test kits ok?

If you have some experience in gardening and amending the soil to achieve a certain result, DIY is fine. For myself, I prefer a professional analysis like you would get from the county agent or similar lab. They not only analyze, but offer guidance on what and how much to add. I posted a link just above for some soil test strips that are available.
