For most gardens, testing every 2-3 years is sufficient. However, if you’re addressing specific problems or growing nutrient-demanding plants, annual testing is recommended. Our tool considers your specific situation to make personalized recommendations.
The ideal times are early spring (before planting) or fall (after harvest). This gives you time to make any necessary amendments before the growing season. Avoid testing when the soil is frozen or overly wet.
While basic pH tests can be used for both, lawns and vegetable gardens have different nutrient requirements. Our recommendation tool accounts for these differences to suggest the most appropriate testing solution for each area.
