I tend to have very pale green leaf plants, which I believe are due to
deficiencies in soil content. What should I check the soil for? What
nutrients, preferably in natural form (such as composting) should I
consider adding? Any other suggestions? Thanks.


A standard soil test should include nitrogen, phosphorous, potash and
pH. The results will tell you what you need to add after reviewing
the plant's specific requirements.
