My garden is officially dead....

I bought a soil testing kit at SW2005 and had a go with it today. I followed all instructions carefully and the results are pictured below. I now have scientific proof that my soil:

- has a ph of 5.0 (must be nearly acidic enought to etch glass)
- has a barely registering nitrate level
- has some phosporus - yippee!
- has absolutely no potassium whatsoever.

OK - so no mucking about then - liquid fertiliser in every watering from now on...
