Soil Tests

This warm weather has me thinking about the Farmers Market. I have the taste of a ripe, juicy, bright red tomatoes and crispy, green, fresh cucumbers on the tip of my tongue. What are these farmers doing now to prepare for the future harvest? Or if you grow some plants in you yard what can you be doing now?

Did you know that the extension office offers free soil sampling?
There are many reasons to preform a soil test:
1. Know how much lime to use                                                              
2. Know how much fertilizer to use
3. Know how to adjust the pH
4. Find out what nutrients are lacking or are in excess

You will need to go by the extension office to pick up your soil testing kit. The address of the extension office is:
1204 SW 14th Street
Bentonville, AR  72712

I hope you get your soil tested soon so you can have a beautiful heirloom tomato by summer!
