Since I was already sending one sample out, I sent out the community garden one as well.Mrs. Finchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282883796077370805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28216161.post-76246382161095752002008-04-30T13:51:00.000-04:002008-04-30T13:51:00.000-04:00Has anyone used the Rapitest home soil test kit? ...Has anyone used the Rapitest home soil test kit? It does 10 each of pH, N, P and K. The kit runs $15-20. I have six beds I'd like to test and at $13/test, I don't think I'm willing to pay for the excellent service provided by UMass.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09787475872114352220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28216161.post-58793476872680533622008-03-24T15:32:00.000-04:002008-03-24T15:32:00.000-04:00A timely topic I guess.

I just sat down and pulled up this post on the computer.<BR/><BR/>I also have to let my soil dry out a few days.
