Soil Testing

What is Soil Testing? – The Environmental Literacy Council Soil, the foundation of terrestrial life, is a complex and dynamic ecosystem. Its composition, structure, and health directly impact plant growth, water retention, and the overall well-being of our environment. Understanding the specific properties of soil is crucial for successful agriculture, landscaping, and even construction. This is where soil testing comes in. Soil testing, at its core, is the process of analyzing soil samples to determine their chemical, physical, and biological characteristics. It’s a diagnostic tool that provides valuable insights into the soil’s condition, enabling informed decisions for its management.
