2. Avoid areas where there is manure.
3. Avoid area where there is trees .
4. Avoid swampy area.

METHODS USED TO COLLECT SOIL
1. Traverse method.
2. Zigzag method.

HOW TO TEST SOIL PH MATERIAL REQUIRED
1. Soil
2. Water
3. Vinegar
4. Baking soda

-Take soil from different areas of your garden.
-put 2 spoonful into separated container.
-add half cup of vinegar.

RESULT:
-if it fizzes you have alkaline soil with ph of 7&8.

BEST CROP AT ALKALINE SOIL
:cabbage,spinach,beans,leek,sunflower,watermelon etc.

Note: if it doesnt fizz after doing the vinegar test.
-add distilled water to other containers with soil until its muddy.
-add half cup of baking soda if fizzes out you have acidic soil with ph of 5&6

BEST CROP AT ACIDIC SOIL
:kales,beans,potatoes,onions,spinach,sweetpotatoes,pumkin,tomatoes,melon,carrots,bananas
