   Here in Maine, you have a wide selection of tests available and, as they   
   say, you get what you pay for with recommendations for soil amendments.   
      
   I've used kits I've purchased and still left wondering if I should trust   
   them. But, it depends on the size of your garden too and what you have at   
   risk. ;)
