Get soil test at any good lab before you do anything.

There are alot out there. Some more expensive than others.
A lot of people (including me) use A&L Western Labs in Modesto, CA

Sample report

Check S3C for Complete report ($33), check Recommendations required (an extra $2). check lbs per 1000 ft, check Graphics report (extra $1)- Total $36.

They are probably the most expensive, but I like their graphics report, recommendations and the Argonomist if very helpful (and patient) with phone and email support, so you understand the recommendaitons.
