Having a soil test done is a wise idea for anyone planting anything or simply maintaining the plant life currently existing on the property.
When planning a new planting, you can find out if the trees or plants that you are considering will thrive in your particular soil conditions. If you are maintaining what you have, a soil test can take the guesswork out of deciding which fertilizer or soil amendments you need to keep your plants healthy.
