One reason is that it is the preferred time for taking soil tests in the flower bed, vegetable garden, lawn, and orchard. Soil tests play a major part in establishing a new flower bed or garden spot or pro viding the proper maintenance on existing garden sites. But just what does a soil test tell you, and why is it so important to the success of your garden? A soil test is like a blood test, revealing the strengths and weaknesses of your soil, including the levels of ele ments such as phosphorus, potas sium, and magnesium, pH (a mea sure of the soil’s acidity or alkalin ity), and recommendations on the amounts of lime and fertilizer to add, depending on the crop. Soil pH is critical because it determines the availability of the nutrients present in the soil. Now is indeed the time to take a soil sample for a couple of reasons.

She is the Mildred Goodrum Heyward Associate Professor of Music First, if a test indicated that your soil needs lime, it will require several months for the lime to actually have time to take its full effect on raising the pH. Also, it is the time of year that the soil’s fertility level will gener ally be the lowest, thus giving you the gardener a truer picture of the soil’s needs than any other time of year. How is a soil sample taken? The following points will help you take good soil samples. ■ Use the right sampling tools. A soil probe, auger, spade or shovel may be used effectively. Use a paper bag or clean plastic bucket for soil. The zinc in metal buckets can contaminate soil samples. ■ Avoid atypical areas in the Harrison's sports quiz Today, the Clemson Tigers take on the North Carolina State Wolfpack in the annual Textile Bowl football rivalry, dating back to 1931.

Stay away from old fence lines, hedgerows, wet spots and trees. ■ Make up a composite sample from each area. A composite is made of sub-samples from several (five to 10) spots in the area to be tested. Sample soil to plow depth (six to eight inches) for gardens and flowers beds, four inches for lawns. ■ Remove any surface litter or thatch. To use a trowel or spade, push the tool to the desired depth into the soil. Then push the handle forward, with the trowel or spade still in the soil, to make a wide opening. Cut a thin slice from the side of the opening that is of uni form thickness, approximately one fourth inch thick and two inches wide, extending from the top of the ground to the depth of the cut. ■ Mix the composite sample well. Then fill a special soil sample bag provided by the Cooperative Extension Service, supplying all the information asked for on the bag.
