Testing Your Soil |
|
|
By testing your soil in your lawn every 3-4 years, you can keep on track if your lawn needs to have nitrogen added or not. Nitrogen is the key nutrient needed for a thick, green lawn.

Testing Soil for Planting
Upon getting ready to start your garden, test your soil first, to see if it's dry enough to work. Form a ball with your hand in the soil & squeeze it. If it crumbles and falls apart, it's dry enough to plant. If it remains in a lump, wait a few days for the soil to dry up.

This works. I found out my soil is alkaline & that's why my evergreens died.
