Test soil in the fall for a healthy yard

The cooler weather has arrived and many homeowners around the county are raking up leaves, cutting back perennials, and just generally prepping yards, and gardens for the long winter ahead. But what few people realize is that  caring for the soil should be a part of the autumn yard routine.
