Your soil is going to be the most important element when you start a vegetable garden – it will make or break the success of your plot. It is recommended to test your soil to see its type, pH, and nutrient make-up before planting anything so you know what you are working with. And it gives a chance to make any amendments if required. A pH test will tell you how acidic or alkaline your soil is, ideally it would be neutral as that is best for most plants. An example of a home soil testing kit is the Luster Leaf Products Professional Soil Kit available at Amazon.
