Is it
worth the expense to get a professional soil test and wouldn't a
do-it-yourself kit be good enough?

| A #9: |
Yes,
it is nearly always worth the cost to get at least one professional
soil test for your garden or lawn to know where you are starting
from before purchasing or applying fertilizers. Often the money paid
to get this accurate information is more than offset by savings from
purchasing the right types and amounts of fertilizers, rather than
applying what you don't need or a product that does more harm than
good.
Do-it-yourself testing kits are useful for limited purposes, but
simply don't give you anywhere near the complete and accurate
measurements needed to address the total fertility balance required
for the best crop or plant performance. This is particularly
important in relation to growing food crops for your own proper
nourishment. If your FOOD is malnourished, YOU will be too! That is
why BLO offers professional soil testing by Logan Labs of Ohio,
which uses the Albrecht method of soils analysis focusing on mineral
balance. We take the lab's results and recommendations and give them
our own analysis and recommended fertilizer types and rates from a
Mineral Augmented Organic perspective. It's the Only Way To GROW! |
