Soil Testing

On March 20, 2015, we did some soil testing of our garden plots. We found that our upper garden (older one) was pretty healthy. It did need a little bit of nitrogen in some of the boxes because we hadn't really been rotating our crops like you are supposed to. However, the lower garden was very, very poor in nutrients and super high in pH (this combination will lead to no growth or very poor growth). So, with this in mind we have added the amendments to the soil and hope that it will be ready for this season of growth; if not it will be ready for next year. Remember, this year is a year of trial and error with our lower garden; anything that comes out of it is great!
