Does your soil have what is needed?


If you are not sure about the condition of your soil, or if you just moved into a new place with no trees at all, maybe you should think about testing the soil before you shell out a lot of money which could result in total loss.

You can get a Basic+ test from a company called Earth Co. in St. Louis MO. While you could get more complicated tests (let's hope you will not have to), this test will cost you $35.00. This is what they claim the test does:

Basic Plus Test
Measures pH, percent organic matter (OM), phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and evaluates the percent sand, silt and clay to classify your soil in one of the 12 types (i.e. loam, silt loam, clay, clay loam, sand, sandy clay etc.) The basic plus soil test is designed to provide soil nutrient information on the major elements and evaluate the suitability of the soil for growing different types of plants or crops (lawns, vegetables, flowers, perennials, small fruits etc.) as well as what to do to improve the soil texture. Recommended when planting areas are first established, changed over to something new or completely renovated.

The results of your test will be sent to you within 10 days, a bit sooner if they know it comes from one of my customers. When you place your order go to "special instructions" section of the order form and type "referred by Frank Gomez"

I guarantee my trees to grow if you water them regularly, and at least 95% of them should grow. If the mortality is over 5%, then you have soil problems and, I will not be held responsible for any losses.
