Now here’s a test you want to take.
Soil Testing – the key to a lush, green lawn and landscape – tells you if your soil has imbalances in nutrients (like iron) or conditions (like pH). The results then guide your fertilizing, telling you specifically what to add and what not to add (did you know too much nitrogen is toxic for your grass?).
You’ll end up feeding your lawn and plants exactly what they need to thrive, while saving money and avoiding headaches (ever wonder why you just can’t get a plant to grow in that one spot?)
Don’t let “test” intimidate you. They’re easy to perform: dig up some dirt, put it in a bag and mail it off. It takes about 10 minutes and its cheap – $12 for a standard test. In fact, It’ll save you plenty of money and aggravation in the long run.
