Thanks alot for all of your responses. I have heard its a waste of time trying to plant w/o getting the PH correct.
So what you say is you send a sample to Biologic? Is this from the web site

What do you put your soil sample in and how much is needed to send out?

Soil testing is BY FAR the most imporatant part of a food plot preparation. After several failed attempts at "plant and pray", I have found that with a soil sample, you up your odds of a successful plot tremendously, provided you follow the recommendations. I use the Biologic sample for a couple of reasons (1) it is easy (2) it is cheap (about $8/sample) (3) it is fast, results emailed in a few days (4) itis plantspecific, meaning if I tell tehm I want to plant brassicus, they will tell me the actual ph, optimum ph, and how much lime and fertilizer i need to add to theplot, and (5) i dont have a local place to take my samples. It is very cehap and easy and takes a lot of guesswork out of it. In the long run, you will same time, $ and frustration with a soil sample. Good luck.
