Hi,

I'm trying to find info on seeing what plants need what soil nutrition and
how to test the soil. Any ideas?

Are you looking for information on the requirements of existing plantings?
Or, are you looking for ideas for future plantings, based on existing soil
conditions?

Information for existing plantings is easy. One of (if not *the*) largest
online plant databases can be found at http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/ .
Each entry will list the requirements for that species. Without becoming a
member (small annual fee), you're daily searches are limited to only a few,
IIRC. They also have a plant identification forum that usually gives
results within hours, if not minutes, if you're unsure of the needs of an
unidentified plant in your landscape. All you'd need is a pic to upload.

As for testing the soil, contact your local co-op.
