Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just a beginner, there is
one simple truth: the better the soil, the better your garden.
Larry Dove of Two Doves Farm in Fayetteville will return to discuss
soil testing and soil preparation for your most successful
vegetable garden ever. He says it would be a good idea for you to
have your soil tested prior to the program so he can help interpret
the results. To take a soil sample, take several random
shovels-full, approximately 6 inches deep, from your garden space.
Mix together; remove rocks, weeds, and take about one cup of
mixture to your county Cooperative Extension Services office. Label
it "Vegetable", "Flower", "Turf", or whatever you plan to grow in
that area. They will send to UGA; results will be sent to you. Soil
test cost is $6.00 at Clayton County Extension. Call 770-473-5434
to register.
