Why You Should Test Your Soil Before Planting a Backyard Garden
Now that the good weather is finally arriving, many of us are getting ready to put our plants into the ground or a raised bed. Whether you’re planning a new backyard vegetable garden or sprucing up your existing garden and landscape beds this season, there’s one simple step you should not skip: soil testing. It might not be as fun as picking out seedlings or designing your garden layout, but testing your soil before planting can make the difference between thriving plants and frustrating results.
