A soil test allows you to know the acidity or alkalinity of your soil, the type of nutrients that are available to plants, and can also be used as a guide in determining fertilizer needs. I explain how I recently conduct a soil test on an acre of land that I plan on growing native Texas grapes. Click on the link below to find out more information.
