| At
THM we test soil to determine nutrient levels, microbial activity,
soil structure and pH. If there is a deficiency we can correct this
by adding sulfur when soils have too high a pH or lime when soils
have too low a pH.
If there is a deficiency of a micro nutrient such as iron or manganese
we can amend soil with chelated iron or manganese to help correct
the problem. We also can amend soil with macro-nutrients nitrogen,
phosphorous and potassium if needed. Soil
microbes and arthropods are essential to healthy soil and are
specific to particular plants. We can amend soil to better the growing
conditions for soil microbes and arthropods by using products like
compost tea.
When soil structure is a problem we can amend soil with gypsum
to alleviate a compacted soil, radial trenching
to aerate soil and to actually remove
and replace soil.
