Home soil test
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2012 1:20 am
After making the raised beds, we decided to do a quick home test. We have never had the soil tested.
Our garden runs at a slight angle, so we did a test at the top, middle and bottom of the garden.
The top sample showed 7+ PH, middle and bottom were 7, so basically the garden has nuetral PH??
The top has low nitrogen, medium phosphorus and high potasium
Middle has VERY low nitrogen (showed no color), medium phosphorus and high potasium
The lower sample also was very low on N, medium phosphorus, and VERY high potasium
So, being cheap and broke, I would like to get one kind of fertilizer for the garden, just the normal garden stuff.
Thanks
