For the many gardeners in Forsyth County that
have taken their soil sample and those that plan to,
you will want to clip this article and keep it beside
your hoe or somewhere near your gardening tools.
? I am very pleased to see yoi* taking a soil sample for
your lawn and gardens. Now, what I would like to
I do is interpret your report.
I ^
I The printed information in the green shaded area
?is the^results of what-your-soil was like when you
I took the sample. The VW reading is the weight of
I the sample in volume. This is not as important to
I you as it is to the lab technician or other report
I readings.
So, let's move to your (P) phosphorous and (k)
potassium levels. The scale of 1-100 can be
I compared exactly to the grading scale of a test or
examination. If your reading is 50, this is not too
good. If it is 70, it's passing. But if it is 100 or 100
plus, this is fantastic. You are doing great! The
H ^ I > j? i <

our lab is not equipped to run nitrogen tests.
These three elements (N, P, K) are absolutely
essential for your corn to tassle, beans to pod arid
your garden to produce the food you want.
The remainder of the elements, which we call the
secondary elements are important but not as much
as the "essential three." The (O.M) organic
matter is on a scale of 1-10. This tells you when you
should keep adding back to the soil materials such
as leaves, sawdust, (old) manure, etc. When you
reach the scale of 10, you are doing fine again, but
this does not mean to stop adding back to Mother
earth.
Now, lets talk a little about pH. Erase from your
mind the letters pH and replace it with sour and
sweet. If your reading is below 6.9, it is sour. If it
is 7.1 or above, it is sweet. If it is 7.0, you guessed
it, it is neutral. Now what about it?
Well, if you are told to use lime, which is written
in the form of pounds per thousand square feet,
(M) your soil is too sour. If they do not suggest any
at all, you are just right on your sour and
sweetness. The fertilizer is also given in the form
of pounds per thousand square feet.
