"I've been told any soil that can grow a crop of weeds, can certainly grow grass. Yet over the years, I have seen some the of best looking soil seem absolutely barren. If you have a problem spot, you can't just cup it in your hand and smell it (okay, maybe you can if someone refueled a mower and spilled all over the place). You can't taste it (well maybe if it's next to a sidewalk where they've used five times too much salt all winter.) You can't put your ear to the ground and listen to all the microbiology (at least I'm pretty sure of that one).
The only way to really know what's going on down there is with a soil test. Understanding the soil will save time, money, and most of all aggravation. With spring seeding upon us, now is the best time to do a soil test. Proper knowledge of pH, salts, soil texture, and nutrient levels will aid in seed selection and fertility inputs. You can only know what you need after you find out what you have. For assistance in sampling or results, please contact your ProGro rep."
