If they are informed of what we are doing they will help us chose and probably enjoy helping a worth while cause. <br>

The site is less than 1 mile from a salt marsh, and then the ocean – is that final test on salts also worthwhile?<br>
<br>
There is also the issue of how to categorize chestnut on the second page. <br>

Hi folks,<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
I am looking at:<br>
<br>
<A href="http://www.umass.edu/plsoils/soiltest/soilbrochc.htm" target=_blank>http://www.umass.edu/plsoils/soiltest/soilbrochc.htm</A><br>
<br>
(Choice “C” - standard test plus organic matter?) <br>
<br>
And<br>
<br>
<A href="http://www.umass.edu/plsoils/soiltest/soilbrochd.htm" target=_blank>http://www.umass.edu/plsoils/soiltest/soilbrochd.htm</A><br>
<br>
(Choice #7, deciduous trees? Doesn’t allow for acid-loving trees; would ericaceous be a better match for chestnut?)<br>
<br>
<br>
