Don't Guess . . . Soil Test
Proper soil fertility is the foundation for plant health. Turfgrass, woody landscape plants, fruits, vegetables, and annual flowers all have specific nutritional requirements. Soil pH and nutrient levels vary greatly from site to site, so guessing about nutritional needs often misses the mark. Soil tests often reveal that adequate quantities of soil nutrients are present, thus preventing unnecessary or harmful fertilizer applications. Note: This publication is available in PDF only; it is not available in hard copy from the Publications Distribution Center.
