HGIC 1652 http://hgic.clemson.edu Soil Testing Printer Friendly Version There are several nutrients that are essential for plant growth. A soil test is used to determine the amount of these nutrients in the soil. The soil test results are subsequently used to make a soil test report. In addition to indicating the level of nutrients in your soil, the report will also tell you the pH value or how acidic or basic your soil is, and it will make a recommendation for the amount and type of fertilizer and/or lime you need to add to the soil for optimum plant growth. This allows you to customize your soil HOW TO TAKE SOIL SAMPLES The soil pH value. The current soil levels of phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc and manganese. Fertilizer and lime recommendations (if needed) for the plants you are growing. HOW MANY SAMPLES TO TAKE You need to take a soil sample from each section of your yard or garden. Usually this means, for example, one sample in your turf area, one in any foundation or perennial bed and one in your vegetable garden. If you have a problem area where plants do not seem to grow well, take a separate soil sample from that location. SAMPLING FREQUENCY The Clemson University Extension Service recommends soil sampling every year.

Site Navigation Reduce the amount of water needed to maintain vigorous plants tabPane = new WebFXTabPane( document.getElementById( "tabpane1" ), true ); tabPane.addTabPage( document.getElementById( "overview" ) ); Soil Moist has been developed to reduce the amount of water needed to maintain vigorous plants and other green goods. When mixed in the soil, the crystals will soften and swell as water is added and absorbed. When the potting system dries, the polymer will release its water to the plant. Soil Moist acts as a water reservoireven during periods of drought the stored water is released to the plant. The expansion and retraction of the polymer during the watering cycle helps soil aeration, which is important to all plants. Note : Soil Moist must be incorporated into the soil at the root level of the plant/green good. Do not top dress or place on the surface. Overview Benefits Our Products Notes tabPane.addTabPage( document.getElementById( "benefits" ) ); Soil Moist stores over 200 times its weight in tap water, releasing a steady supply of water as your plants need it. Soil Moist offers the following benefits: Reduces plant waterings Reduces evaporation of moisture from the soil Time releases fertilizer and water Encourages deep root penetration Reduces soil compaction Minimizes transplant shock Lasts several seasons Cost effective Environmentally friendly Overview Benefits Our Products Notes tabPane.addTabPage( document.getElementById( "products" ) );

skip to main skip to sidebar Daughter of the Soil A folk musician's adventures in experimental horticulture Thursday, 3 April 2008 Seed Guardians A really unusual pea ... Irish Preans , which is possibly a cross-species hybrid This year I've volunteered as a Seed Guardian for the Heritage Seed Library . I've been meaning to do it for a while, but wanted to do some informal seed swapping for a couple of years first to make sure people were happy with the seeds I produced and I wasn't getting any unexpected cross-pollination problems. The Heritage Seed Library grow a lot of their own seed to distribute to members but they're also hugely reliant on volunteers to grow seed on their behalf. It's a pretty straightforward process to become a Seed Guardian. You write to HSL and tell them you want to volunteer. They send you a set of instructions for saving seed for various types of plant. And then in March they send you their list of "orphans". You can choose up to three varieties to become a guardian for ... this year's orphan list has 12 beans, 8 peas and 10 tomatoes. And they do let you choose which ones you want to look after (on a first-come first served basis), which is nice, and send you descriptions for each variety so you can make an informed choice. Some of the varieties are things already available in the HSL catalogue, others are new acquisitions or things which haven't been listed for a few years. There is a sense of responsibility in taking on a guardianship role ... and it is important to ensure the purity of the seed you send back to them. But it's not the end of the world if you have a crop failure, they keep spare stock of everything. Neither do you have to commit yourself to producing vast quantities ... and you are allowed to eat some of it. They welcome feedback on the flavour and cooking qualities.
