Is there a kit for testing garden soil for nutrients?
My garden was a complete and total disaster This Year. It was getting progressively worst. So is there a kit for testing nutrient levels in the soil. How does one test for nitrogen?
Take a soil sample to your local gardening center. Many down here in Texas will send it off to Texas A&M for free in the early spring.
Some advice, in the spring and fall try to capture your grass clippings and dump them into your garden. Also go to home depot or similar and buy several 40 pound bags of humus or cow manure or organic fertiizer and till it into the garden, then overseed with something like annual rye over the winter months. Come spring, mow it down and till the surviving grass into the soil and add some more manure/humus/organic fertilizer/grass clippings. My garden is always great
ps. to keep weeds down by 90% or more, put a layer of hardwood mulch down after you plant in the spring. Then in the fall this gets tilled in and helps your soil structure too!
