To do this, perhaps a visit to your nearest land grant college or land
grant university will help. Contacting the horticulture department and
explaining what you want to learn the Professors can arrange a real
educational class for you. Land grant colleges and universities get
subsidies from the United States Department Of Agriculture to help people
in this situation. I have Delaware Valley University nearby and it is a
land grant university and if you own land, it is possible to phone the
University and request a soil test and give them your address. The tests
are done by students and graded by Professors so are likely to be accurate
or a student's grades will suffer. Also, land grant colleges and
universities have markets where produce and other farm products get sold.
The thing to keep in mind is if you have a large family and buy in bulk
you'll save money
