The garden weasel doesn’t make the task dream-like easy, but it does improve the situation a lot. Taken from the same height as the Before picture.

Question by Corinne: Got garden soil tests results, Can you help tell me what they mean?
Ok, So I did a soil test it yesterday. Can anyone help me with the results?
It was a home test kit by Ferry Morse.
The results are pH:Acid,
Nitrogen: Low
Phosphorous: Medium
Potash: Low

Ok, So what does this mean for my garden?
Thanks in advance!
More Details: The test say’s 6.0 Acid for pH, the other results were just low and medium, no decimables. I’ll be growing veggies, corn, beans, tomatoes, potatoes, and more.
If I need to add something, How much should I add or how do I figure what I need?
There are so many types of fertilizers out there..
We’re in zone 7, Maryland, Sandy soil. Going to plant potatoes on St. Patricks Day.
