But I havent sampled in 2 years as I use a sterile soilless mix in grow bags and add soluble nutrients at each watering.
The in ground growing I do is for other veggies and some fruit, and there I toss down one of the espoma tones and drip feed cal nitrate along the way very lightly. I am due to test. I don't till and do cover cropping spring and fall and cut that and layer it down, move it aside at planting, then push it back to cover. The worms find that mat of matter and go nuts. The soil is rich and mellow underneath and the soil is never bare year round.
I get good yields and am happy.
With the tomatoes I am all about precision including doing leaf samples.
