Soil Testing – When to retest
Q: I had my soil tested last fall and the report said that my soil was deficient in phosphorus and potassium. I used 10-10-10 for the first fertilization. When should I retest?
A: It takes a while for nutrients to spread uniformly through the soil. I’d wait until this fall to test again. Soil testing details at www.georgiasoiltest.com
