Recently we had our soil tested by the Kentville Agricultural Centre (between New Minas and Kentville on Route 1), and in interpreting the results we were given a number of resources for interpreting soil test results. Alex put us on to the MOFGA Guide (in addition to offering a number of suggestions himself) and suggested we share it with our test results as an example of the importance of soil health in gardening. So! Here’s the resources, and thanks again to Alex for sending them our way:

About
The Acadia Community Farm began in the Spring of 2008 with the vision of providing local, organic produce to the dining hall at Acadia University, while also serving as a community garden. Now entering our fourth growing season, the ACF has grown (no pun intended) to become a community centre for the exchange of knowledge surrounding gardening, food, and sustainable agriculture. Read the blog or explore the site to find out more!
