| I have been seeing these soil testers in burpee garden booklets and such. I was wondering what any one thought of them. A bigger question would be how to read them and what to do about the reading. I know to add lime to soil to halp balance the ph but what if my soil needs more or less nitrogen or other compounds such as phosphorus potassium etc. thanks |

| Catalog soil testers will just give you the basics, mostly Ph. If you want more detail, the Pa Cooperative Extension office does informative soil tests for a minimal fee. |
