You are correct in that I can't tell what the soil needs as far as amendments go. I was just referring to the moisture level. This is my first till. I will till in compost and chicken manure later. I know that I should take a representative sample to the extension service for a soil analysis, but I have never done that. I generally use good organic nutrients and my garden has always done well, so I never bothered with the test. Do you if the OSU extension service still offer soil testing?
