That test would help determine if the soil has anything chemically damaging to new plantings.
Um, what is my "local extension office"?

Bed started out as top soil (local guy has a huge space with huge piles of dirt, mulch and manure and he mixes it with a tractor) he mostly sells to local contractors but if you show up with a pickup truck and a couple $20's he will fill up the truck. I think over the years I have tossed some manure and bags of potting soil.

Thanks again!
