Soil testing… nobody does it. I honestly don’t do it either. But I SHOULD do it – we all should do it! Soil testing enables us to see exactly what our soil needs, so we don’t have to pour on expensive, unnecessary fertilizer.  So go to the UMass extension service and get your soil tested. Just do the Standard Soil Test with Organic Matter for $15. I will, too. Here’s the link: http://www.umass.edu/plsoils/soiltest/
