Identify the soil by using a tests. The soil texture is a good start for soil testing. Dig a hole 12 cm deep and touch a handful of the soil. Feeling the soil gives an idea whether the soil texture is sandy, loamy or clay. Feel the soil if it's a chalk or if there are lots of stones in it. Loam soil is considered the best kind of soil. Loam is a mixture of different pieces of both sand and clay. A loamy soil can retain moisture in summer and allow water to drain on winter. Fertilizing, adding organic substance and liming the soil contribute to how fertile the soil is. Testing the soil with alkalinity, acidity and neutrality is enough to see what kind of plants the soil can grow. The drainage test should be done in late winter or when the water level is at the highest. The acidity and alkalinity test can be done by buying the simple kit test or can be done in the laboratory. |
