Soil Testing

Interested in soil testing for your garden or community garden? Here is an interesting article of why you should have your soil tested and the money you could save on investing a small amount in money in a simple test. Last year we had 2 tests done by Calmar in Westerville, Ohio for under $50.

When working in a community garden is really important to know the history of the soil, so you know what might be in the soil or dumped there before. tests are a cost effective way to find out how healthy it really is!
