Repotting houseplantsYou can tell a plant has outgrown its pot by checking for compacted roots. Turn the plant on its side and gently knock the rim of the pot against a table. This will loosen the root ball enough for you to check for massed roots at the edges and bottom of the pot, which indicate a plant needs repotting. |

Test and amend your soilYou will need to gather samples from several spots, since soil characteristics vary across your lawn. Take one random sample for each 1,000 square feet of lawn. To take a sample, dig 3 inches into the ground and scoop up a handful of soil with a trowel or use a soil probe. You should use clean tools to avoid contaminating your sample. Place your samples in a bucket and mix random samples thoroughly. Scoop out 1 cup of soil. This is your sample, ready for testing. |
