I was thinking about getting my soil tested at candjfert.com have any of you had any experiences with them or do you suggest I get it tested close by, since I live in Maryland?

Thanks

Yes I have had them do it the last two years, Several things I like..... is Craig will call you and spend time going over your results explaining what is, and what could be....Personalized service that is hard to come by anymore. Also his test is centered around pumpkins and the pie chart on the second page shows a nice visual to all the numbers that could be confusing, Im thinking you will like what you get from the them.

Also one could check out the local college extension, which I am also doing......why?? because they Know my local dirt and too can add suggestions. What works on the east coast with acidic soil is different here in Colorado with alkaline soil so a local college will have the latest and greatest for your geographic area .....with years of experience. My three "sense" worth........lol Augment that with good soil sense from this site and members and you have choices to make........One thing I have learned is> know "what" you have, and know "what" your adding, Go slow, Go organic, as much as poss, Balance most important ... Read read read......Google is your friend...... Good Luck. Check this site out: Probably one of the best so far I have found.
