To apply optimum levels of nutrients or lime to your soil , it is necessary to know the existing pH and the availability of essential plant nutrients in the soil.
Soil testing is an environmentally responsible practice.
The improper application of fertilizer or other nutrient sources can lead to nitrate or phosphorus contamination of our water resources. By applying the most appropriate kind and amount of fertilizer at the proper time, you can ensure that you are ''feeding'' your plant-life and not polluting our environment.
