The dirt's color can tell you what it is. The soil color will tell you if it contains more organic matter than the lighter ones. A second option is soil testing. These tests measure the number of nutrients present in the soil.
What vegetables are good to grow together?
Growing tomatoes and peppers together is excellent because they both like similar temperatures and soil conditions. They can complement each other because tomatoes require heat to mature, and peppers require lower temperatures for their optimal flavor. Plant them together indoors at least six weeks before you plant them. After the weather has warmed up, you can transplant the pepper plants and tomatoes outside.
