Test Results.

I took three soil samples from my plot this morning (one from each main bed) and tested each for:
  • Acidity (pH)
  • Nitrogen (N)
  • Phosphorus (P)
  • Potassium (K)
Acidity, phosphorus and potassium levels are all acceptable.  Nitrogen levels were low in all three samples so I will fertilise the soil with some chicken manure.

    Graeme, what sort of kit did you use? The only tests I've done in the past have indicated pH only. I'd be interested to check my beds in a similar fashion to you.
