Inexpensive Home Soil Test | All About Dirt | Episode 22 #goingoffgrid #homestead #leavingthegrind
Hi - We are Douglas and Keri…follow us as we make the move from our urban home near Denver, Colorado to our off grid property in Southeast Arizona.
If you are considering buying off grid or homestead property be sure to subscribe to our channel so you can follow our journey!
We brought back some dirt from the newest property purchase and did the standard water/soap test. We decided to run to the hardware store today and pick up an inexpensive soil test kit (cost about $15). We purchased the Rapidtest by Luster Leaf at Home Depot and it was easy to use.
What we discovered is that our soil is exclusively alkaline which means we won't be growing blueberries, but cactus, stone fruits, and cruciferous veggies. The soil also has sufficient potash which means they will be able to intake nutrients, but will not be bright green and shiny due to a SEVERE lack of nitrogen and seed and fruit quality will be low and sterile without intermittent use of natural nitrogen and potassium amending. Not a horrible situation, but one we will have to fix to grow food the way we want. This is a trade off for the great view we suppose, but it's fixable with time and hard work!
Thanks for watching today…see you soon!
