Two bizarre ways of testing how deficient your soil is of nutrientS

Have you ever wondered if you’re houseplant potting soil is nutrient deficient? well you’re not alone and in this article we are going to be taking a soil scientist recommendation on how to test.

As a scientist I am always going to advocate you go to a lab for your soil testing. But when you have a ton of houseplants in each container it has a different value for nutrients that can get a little bit pricey. Sure you can get those testable options from the store. But in reality those also are expensive and not always that accurate.

This gardening in Canada podcast is going to give you two unique ways to test how much nutrients you have present in your house plant soil. If you miss the article on whether or not to fertilize during the winter months be sure to check that out. The answer may surprise you.

Ashley is an agronomist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.

 At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science. 

Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.
