Here in the Peoples Republic, they charge and arm and laig for testing soil at the County Extension. If anybody nose where us pore saps in Calif can send a sample for testing for pocket change, I would sure like to find out.

Chopped cabbage - not just a good idea... it's THE SLAW.



Good advice. But would like to have more than N, K & P and acidity. I suspect one part of the yard (not near the fruit & vegs) may have some contamination from oil. Not enough for a gusher - I think there used to be an oil storage tank on that part of the back 40.
