Soil test

View out to the garden
Looking a bit sad at the moment, but getting more and more green.

Views back toward the house.
Here I have started with some planting, but was done without much thought.

Tried to do a soil test to measure Ph level, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potash level in the soil. Unfortunalety I don't think it worked very well. There were supposped to develop colour with different strengths... they all look pretty much they same to me. I think that the soil in garden is clay. Which can mean poor drainage. Tomorrow I will do a drainage test and get another soil test.

The colour chart showing what you should have seen, then my tests. As you can see I didn't have much luck.
