i hear over and over about getting a soil test done before seeding, prescribing a fert program, sodding, etc. can someone tell me, what is a soil test? how do you get one? how much does it cost? how long does it take? quite frankly, i have never tested soil other than the old ph meter. i DON'T put down lime, fert, etc before sodding, and have never, ever, lost even one piece of sod. i DON'T take soil tests, and my programs, and seeding jobs are second to none. so, how important is it, and how much does it cost, how is it done. thanx
