How do I know if my soil is suitable for gardening?

To determine if your soil is suitable for gardening, it is important to test its levels of pH, nutrient content, and soil type. You can purchase a soil testing kit from many garden centers, or take a sample to your local county extension office for testing. Knowing the pH of your soil is especially important, as it determines the availability of nutrients to your plants and can affect the success of your gardening efforts.
