Fix Chemical Imbalance
The only way you know that you have a chemical imbalance in your soil is to have taken a soil sample and have sent it to a soil testing laboratory.

I’ve accumulated pesticide containers from a prior gardening life, inherited my dad’s collection when they moved from a home to an apartment (so that I could dispose of them properly) and even uncovered a stockpile after moving into our current home.

Check Chemical Imbalance
Soil test kits for measuring chemical imbalance, pH levels, and organic content are available commercially, but you can get a thorough and accurate report from the County Extension Service (CES) in your county.

Whenever you see a fertilizer product, it will have three numbers prominently listed on the package, usually on the front. These numbers are very important and tell a great deal about what this fertilizer will do.

Insecticides and Lawn Chemicals
In fact, there are more pesticides (measured in amount of chemical per acre) used in home landscapes than is used in American agriculture. Diazinon, the most popular insecticide in home landscapes in America, has been banned from golf courses, athletic fields, and cemeteries because in granular form, it will kill any songbird that ingests it.
