The long term success of any lawn or garden starts below the surface with healthy soil. Determining the type of soil by testing the texture, structure and ph should always be the first step in your landscape planning to ensure optimal growing conditions. Testing your soil will help to determine drainage concerns, acidity and nutrient availability providing you with a road map to growing healthy soil and plants.
Join me Saturday, March 31st at 11am at the Vashon True Value where I'll dig in to the different types of native soils examining the texture and structure as well as demonstrating how to test your soil's ph. I'll also discuss the benefits of organic amendments and how to address common soil concerns.
