[MassChestnutOrchards] Soil testing for chestnuts - Westerly soil problems

[Yvonne Federowicz]

Hi folks,

URI no longer does soil testing so we need to use Umass or UCT to figure out
what is going on at Westerly.  On the Umass soil test website there are
several choices... Do we have a standard one to use?

I am looking at:

http://www.umass.edu/plsoils/soiltest/soilbrochc.htm

(Choice ³C² - standard test plus organic matter?)

And

http://www.umass.edu/plsoils/soiltest/soilbrochd.htm

(Choice #7, deciduous trees? Doesn¹t allow for acid-loving trees; would
ericaceous be a better match for chestnut?)
