Testing for Better Soil

(Newswire.net — June 25, 2018) Cheyenne, Wyoming — Soil is just soil, right? It may be dirt but not all dirt is equal. Many people typically overlook the importance of their soil when endeavoring to plant anything, they just figure that once they water a seedling and give it lots of sunlight all should be fine. But how much water? How often is it needed? How much sunlight? And the questions could go on. The solution to all these ponderings is to just wise up and test the soil for everything with a trusted device such as the HealthyWiser™ 3-in-1 Soil Meter. 

“Soil moisture is a measure of how wet or dry the soil is,” explains the Gulf of Maine Research Institute. “Each plant species needs a different range of soil moisture in order to absorb water and nutrients efficiently and stabilize the plant. Some need very wet roots while others need very dry roots with minimal moisture. Estimating soil moisture gives us a better idea of the plant species we can expect to find (and not find) in a habitat.” 

This information of course naturally speaks to what types of plants are best suited to growing in a specific area. Understanding the type of soil, the amount of moisture it can retain plus the duration and intensity of light a region is privy to all culminates into valuable data for any person with agricultural interests, whether for backyard gardening or full scale farming pursuits. 

“In agriculture, a soil test commonly refers to the analysis of a soil sample to determine nutrient content, composition, and other characteristics such as the acidity or pH level,” says Wikipedia.com. “A soil test can determine fertility, or the expected growth potential of the soil which indicates nutrient deficiencies, potential toxicities from excessive fertility and inhibitions from the presence of non-essential trace minerals. The test is used to mimic the function of roots to assimilate minerals. The expected rate of growth is modeled by the Law of the Maximum.” 

And that in a nutshell is the ultimate reasoning for ensuring soil tests are done frequently. Plants are always taking from and contributing to the varying characteristics of the soil they are embedded in so as the weather and seasons change so does the composition of soil and consequently needs of a plant. The HealthyWiser™ 3-in-1 Soil Meter provides the best way of noting all vital soil changes to help guide planters to the correct response to their plants’ needs.
