Hi linda
 The last time i tested my soil was about 6 months ago using a hardware store NPK test
The results if i rember corectly was low N high P med-low K
I don't think my local extension office test soil so to do a good soil test i would have to get a ride to las vegas(i don't have a drivers licence yet) wich is about and hour away from where i liveand but my mom and dad don't go to vegas alot
soooo...
is there any way i could test it myself to get good results
LMK
thanks
Oliver

Oliver,

What do your current soil tests tell you? To fish for answers without
adequate input is futile ( kind of like resisting the Borg). I have
my soil tested each spring and fall and use that data to enquire
about direction I should take.

Best wishes,

Linda

of statements don't come thorugh in e-mails, and what you meant as a
pleasantry gets to be pretty unpleasant if you don't give clues to
the foils at the other end. I've been guilty of same, so I can't
really lecture you about that. Except, of course, I am. How human!
Grin!
