Think about that statement for a minute. Every plot of soil is different. It's easy to see the difference between a plot of soil in the northern part of the American continent as compared to one in the southern part as temperatures, soil composition, rain fall etc. are all differentiating factors. Because of this, it's important to leverage your local state Agricultural Extension Services universities. Each state has a university that has dedicated studies related to agriculture in that state. Many, many, many resources are published by these universities and it's important to find yours and use the research they've done to your advantage.
My local Agricultural Extension Service university is Purdue University. The Purdue Agriculture Extension home page is here. By clicking on "County Offices" in the menu, you can select your particular county to go to the site for that. As I live in Indianapolis, the Marion County site is my starting point for research.
Find your local Agricultural Extension Service university. The resources are invaluable and will save you lots of time, effort and heartbreak.
