This is almost all you need to know when growing organically.
The benefit of using organic fertilizers is that the plant can only uptake the nutrients it can use at the current time and no more. Whereas with synthetic fertilizers, if too much is applied to the plant then it can burn the plant's roots and leaves and can also kill the plant.
So you cannot have too much organic matter in your garden. For the record I have never had a soil test
If you need to test the PH, you can buy those cheap testing strips and mix your dirt up with water and test. Never done that either. Everything grows great. If it wasn't for those green stinkbugs I would have a garden paradise this year. I hope whoever brought those over here from Asia 25 years ago is still in prison.
