How does soil analysis help select seeds and plants for my property?

By knowing the soil properties of texture and pH, plants and seeds can be selected that will thrive in your property’s soil. Additional analysis of soil characteristics of SAR and EC or N-P-K help determine how well your soil conditions correlate with the native soils of your EcoRegion.
