Q&A - Best Time To Soil Test
Question:
Is now a good time to test my soil?
Answer:
It is always a good time to test your soil. Haywood County UT Extension Director Walter Battle recommends testing in the fall because if there is a need to add lime it has all winter to take effect in the soil. But, any time is a good time to test your soil. Soil tests can tell you how much fertilizer to use which can save you money. Using too much fertilizer can make your ground too salty which can poison your soil. As they say: “Why guess, soil test.”
