Remember though that these numbers are ratios. The actual quantities of
nutrients could be higher or lower. A soil test is the best place to
start. Say, for instance the 5-10-5 could also say 1-2-1, and still be
the the same ratio, but the quantity would be higher for each of
5-10-5.
Are there any recommended sites selling soil tests? I've never tested
mine but confess the idea intriques me.

Carl. There are the simple take home tests for ph levels, N P and K. There
are the more sophisticated soil tests run by specialised labs that require
you to submit soil and give you a wide range of tests they can run.
