WHAT WILL GARDEN SOIL TESTING TELL YOU?

How does your garden grow? It can depend on the
soil.
  • A range of variables can affect soil fertility,
    or how well the soil can sustain plant growth.
    Fortunately, if you need that information,
    theres a simple solution garden soil testing.

  • Here are three helpful things that soil testing
    can tell you

  1. Learn What Nutrients Are in Your Soil

One of the main benefits of soil testing is
learning the levels of existing nutrients in your
soil. Different plants thrive in different soil
environments, so its crucial to know the makeup
of your soil. Not only can soil testing tell you
what nutrients are in your soil, but it can also
tell point out any deficiencies that may make
growing things difficult. The main nutrients
necessary for soil fertility are nitrogen,
phosphorus, and potassium. Once you know that,
you can more easily identify the right fertilizer
to use, which is an essential part of correcting
any nutrient deficiencies. Another reason to
find a company to help you conduct a garden soil
test? It can also help you conserve energy
because you can learn the appropriate amount of
fertilizer to you.

  • 2. Garden Soil Testing Can Tell You the
    Soils pH Value

Garden soil testing can also tell you how acidic
your soil. The pH value of soil can affect how
well a plant grows, and certain plants thrive in
different acidity levels. In general, though, a
pH level of 6.5 is what you should shoot
for. Thats because most plants grow best in the
6.0 to 7.0 range. If a soil test reveals that
your pH level doesnt fall within that range,
then it will help you figure out a way to fix the
problem. Soil amendments, which improve soils
physical condition, are generally used to make
those adjustments. Garden lime, for example, is a
soil amendment that is frequently used to reduce
soil acidity. Garden lime is the soil amendment
frequently used to reduce soil acidity. Once
youve achieved the right soil pH value, you can
continue to conduct soil testing every one to
three years, or as any problems arrive.

  •  3. Identify Any Toxic Materials
  • Garden soil tests can be a great tool to ensure
    that there are no toxic elements in the soil.
    This can be especially necessary in urban areas,
    where previous industrial activity or improper
    waste disposal may have led to soil
    contamination.
  • For example, owners who live in older homes that
    may have used lead-based paint will want to check
    for lead contamination. This can occur after case
    lead-based paint chipped off the house and into
    the soil.
  • If your property is near a road, then testing for
    contamination is an important step to take.

Try Soil Testing Yourself
  • Garden soil testing can be an invaluable service
    when it comes to learning more about whats in
    your soil. By helping you identify the pH level
    and any nutrient deficiencies, you can make
    educated decisions to improve your soils
    fertility.
