Soil Testing
I bought a soil testing kit at Tractor Supply Company for $4.99.
Green=Ph
Blue=Phosphorous
Red=Potash
Purple=Nitrogen
The soil sample was taken from box #1, close to the trellis edge, 4" deep.
Soil looks between neutral and alkaline. Maybe a 7.5.
According to the test kit,
beans-6.0-7.5
lettuce-6.0-7.0
onion-6.0-7.0
tomato-5.5-7.5
I will add some lime to the soil
Phosphorous: It looks between low and very low.
Potash: It looks decidedly very low.
Nitrogen: There is practically no color in the test tube, so that is decidedly very low.
I will add some organic fertilizer for sure.
