If you want to know if your soil is good for gardening and are ready to start gardening in a new spot, the first thing you should do is look around! How does the grass look? What about the trees? Once you learn to "read" the land, you have a rough idea of where a good spot to garden might be. This is just the beginning, of course, as it's also useful to test the soil pH and mineral as well as organic matter content. However, it's gotten so I can usually tell right away if a garden will do well, just by looking at what is already growing. If azaleas are doing great, blueberries will as well. If you have lots of deciduous tree species, changes are you're in a good spot for planting an orchard. Wild grapes? Plant cultivated ones! It works well as a starting point. The more plant species and the denser and greener they are growing, the better your own gardening projects are likely to grow. Start a garden with these thoughts in mind.
