Soil Analysis Testing - Steps For Getting Your Soil TestedBook Preview:Soil analysis testing for Houston soils accomplishes a couple of things. First, the results will give you a soil pH reading that tells you what nutrients are available for use by your plants. Most soils rich in organic matter, from a variety of sources, are going to have most of the nutrients your plants need to be big, healthy and productive.But if the pH is a bit too high or too low, some of those nutrients are going to be “bound up” in the soil so that your plants cannot access them. I’m not going to pretend to understand the chemistry of all that, but I understand that my plants will not get the nutrients they need if the soil pH is too low or too high. So knowing what my soil pH is and what it ought to be, tells me what I need to do, if anything.Second, the Routine Analysis test will determine the soil pH, salinity, nitrates and levels of the primary and secondary nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium and sulfur). It will also provide you with a fertilizer recommendation for selected crops. The Routine Analysis test will meet most home gardener’s needs.The Lab can test for micronutrient levels if you’re interested in that information and there are several other tests available as well.If your soil is very low in a particular nutrient, you could probably increase production if that nutrient is added. It is a good horticultural practice to fertilize properly, meaning to only add those nutrients to the soil that are missing or in short supply.And BUY this book, if you want more!In this book, you can find out: garden soil,garden soil 0.75,garden soil 2 cu,garden soil 2 cu ft,garden soil 2 cubic,garden soil 2 cubic feet,garden soil 2cf,garden soil 3 cubic feet,garden soil 32 quart,garden soil 3cf,garden soil 4 cubic feet,garden soil 40 at,garden soil 40 lb,garden soil 40 pound,garden soil 707,garden soil additives,garden soil all purpose,garden soil amendments,garden soil analyser,garden soil auger,garden soil bags,garden soil block,garden soil book,garden soil bulk,garden soil cart,garden soil compost,garden soil containers,garden soil cover,garden soil cubic feet,garden soil digger,garden soil enhancement,garden soil fertilizer,garden soil flowers,garden soil for roses,garden soil for tomatoes,garden soil for vegetables,garden soil heater,garden soil holder,garden soil hydrometer,garden soil improvement,garden soil innoculant,garden soil inoculant,garden soil insecticide,garden soil kellogg,garden soil kit,garden soil knife,garden soil large,garden soil large bags,garden soil lb,garden soil miracle gro,garden soil miracle grow,garden soil mix,garden soil mixer,garden soil moisture sensor,garden soil natural,garden soil nutrients,garden soil organic,garden soil outdoor,garden soil pellets,garden soil ph meter,garden soil ph test kit,garden soil ph tester,garden soil prime,garden soil raised bed,garden soil rake,garden soil roses,garden soil scoop,garden soil sieve,garden soil sifter,garden soil small,garden soil starter,garden soil test,garden soil test kit,garden soil tester,garden soil testing kit,garden soil thermometer,garden soil vegetables,garden soil warmer,garden soil warming,garden soil with fertilizer,garden soil with sand
