Remember the Soil

As seed catalogs arrive, enthusiasm for planting a garden rises. As you pour over the catalogs, making a list for your 2015 garden, remember the importance of good soil. As the ground thaws over the next couple months, it is a good time to take a soil sample. The sample can be analyzed at the McCracken County Extension office, 2705 Olivet Church Road. The cost is $7.00 per sample. For detailed information on taking a sample, consult the University of Kentucky publication TakingSoil Test Samples.
