  1. Get Your Garden Soil Tested And Improve Its Fertility Soil plays a crucial role in the overall development of a garden or a farm. With a goal to develop a sound and lovely garden, it is important that the soil of the garden should be of highest fertility.

  2. Having your soil tested would be a great thing for your garden. A soil test reveals the true organic value of the garden soil. It will disclose the levels of pH, phosphorous, potassium and other natural matter present in your garden soil. It will also reveal you the ratio of sand present in the soil. It gives you the prescience to realize what measures you need to take in order to make your soil fertile. How to get the soil test done? Home Soil Test–Although, experts never recommend conducting a soil test at home even if you know how to do it. A soil must be tested under the controlled conditions and environment to get the most accurate data. This type of environment is only available in the professional laboratories. At home, the environment is not standardized because of many impurities therefore it will not provide the accurate results. Neighborhood Agricultural Office/Local University - You can send the soil sample to the agriculture department in your area or may be to an agriculture university to get tested. This would be an ideal choice than trying to test the soil at home. Go to the private soil testing lab – There are many private soil testing labs that use advanced soil testing equipment like Thermogravimetric Analyser, automated testing machine, elemental analyzer and much more for soil testing. You can send the sample of soil from your garden to any private lab to get tested. A private lab will provide you the most comprehensive test results and reports of the soil which will help you in introducing measures to improve its fertility. Although, this is the bit more expensive than getting soil tested either in an agriculture university or department.

  3. The majority of the soil tests are done to find the pH level in the soil. It is been done with the help of a pH Soil Tester which is a handheld device. This test is done to ensure that your soil has every important chemical ingredient which is required for the fertility of crops or plants. The data you get from your agriculture department, Agriculture University or a private lab is more deliberate and exclusive. It takes roughly 3 to 4 weeks to recover your outcomes. The report gives data about your soil and proposals on what your soil needs (i.e. lime, sulfur, compost or natural matter).

  4. Understanding the Basics of Soil Testing Quality of soil is a simple term that is used to determine if a particular soil in a particular area is appropriate for growing a specific type of crop. There are cases when sometimes you need soil that is well drained and has a huge content of natural organic fertilizers whereas in other cases, it would be alright to grow plants in conditions when the soil is dry but still good to be used for growing plants. All of this identification can be done by Soil testing laboratory equipments. There is a huge variety of these equipment’s used on the commercial scale these days and

  5. for those people who are into sole levels of farming, investing in such equipment rather than taking your soil to the labs time and again is not a good idea as it is time consuming and expensive as well. PH level is a major factor that needs to be tested while doing soil testing and there are special pH Soil testers for this. Soil has the nature of either being alkaline or acidic and once the test is done, you can determine the exact content to figure out the crops that can be grown in there. In addition to this, you can also add some nutrients to change the PH level of the soil. Mineral content of the soil can also be tested by using special equipments like carbon sulphur Analyser. Various metals and minerals have their roles in improving the quality and overall fertility of the soil and therefore you’d often hear experts telling you to add that particular mineral to improve the quality of the soil and therefore do this test beforehand to get a clearer picture.

  6. Since nothing in too high quantities is going to be good, get all the necessary tests done for your soil samples and then you’d be good to go with the farming needs and be able to produce the highest quality of crops as well.
