Soil Testing!

We have various plots where things are grown, each with different types of soil and different nutrients being fed on a regular basis.

In the front boulevard, we have raised beds: two with humus brought in from Nature's Needs. this humus seems to be nutrient rich but is very dry and water absorption is an issue. The other two beds have soil from the old raised beds (topsoil and compost blend).

Inside the garden, we have the wheel area, which has clayey soils and soil that has been amended with compost/chicken manure. The two other beds IN the garden have the soil from the old beds. Also this area gets constant droppings from the huge fir tree, so the soil is more acidic.

Then, in the back, we have the random ground soil which seems to have a lot of sand to it; we also have potted vegetables out back.

SO: next year perhaps a soil test in various locations would be good. Perhaps some areas need more of something. It would be nice to even them all out some or see how different they are!
