Soil Testing & Amendment, in practice
Fertiliser applied to soil at the wrong pH is largely wasted, because the nutrients are present but chemically unavailable to the grass. A lawn that has resisted every feeding programme is very often a pH problem rather than a nutrition one.
Middle Tennessee soils run acidic in a lot of places, and lime is cheap. But it is applied by measurement rather than by habit — over-liming causes its own problems and takes far longer to correct.
Samples come from several points across the lawn. Soil varies considerably over short distances, and a single core tells you about one spot rather than about your lawn.
Sometimes the answer is that the soil is fine and the problem is shade, drainage or mowing height. We would rather say that than sell an amendment that changes nothing.
