hi! wondering if people would share where they get their soil tested and about what they pay nowadays. I am specifically looking for labs/tests that will include micronutrients and the CEC infirmation.

thanks!

We make mini swales after planting out fruit trees, not before.

I hope you will find the answer that you are looking for.



how do you build the swales? above/ below the trees? can you send a pic? and what is your climate/rainfall like?

thanks

here in the high desert we need beauty and shade as much ( or more than) beans. i grow scarlet runners on arched cattle panels. Let them dry on the vine and hand pick pods/crush into tubs.

on a windy day pour tub ontp tarp, gather tarp and pour back into tub, couple times in the breeze and done.

if i have to buy new seed for whatever reason, those are the ones we eat and we save our landraced beans for seed.

hope this helps!
