To test your soil and make your garden super healthy, here’s a simple way to do it that I’ve learned over the years:
Get Your Supplies: You will need a clean container, a trowel (a tool for digging), and a soil testing kit. You can find these at garden stores or online.
Pick Different Spots: Don’t just take dirt from one place. Grab samples from different areas in your garden. This helps you understand your soil better.
Collect the Soil: Dig down about 6 to 8 inches and take a small sample from each spot. Put all these samples into your container.
Follow the Kit Instructions: Most testing kits will tell you how to mix your soil with water and other ingredients to check things like pH levels and nutrients.
Understand the Results: When you get your results, you can adjust your soil using things like lime (to raise pH), compost (for nutrients), or fertilizers to make the best home for your plants.
Believe me, this will make a big difference for your garden in the long run!
