You can do your soil analysis at KARI(Kenya Agricultural Institute). They will do a full chemical analysis for you and give you advise on what you should use in your shamba.You also need to get advise on how to do the sampling from them to get the best results.You also need to collect and deliver your samples at least two months before planting to get results in good time.This will allow you to plan your fertilizer purchases for timely planting.

You can try Kephis too
The only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.

Best place is KARI.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..
