People should take care of them which includes pruning them by professionals, and making sure they are adequately cared for. As for soil testing, there are kits online to see what your soil needs such as outsidepride.com. In NJ, all of our counties have agricultural extension where you can pick up a soil testing kit which will test your soil for your lawn, trees, etc. Other states may have the same program. After you are done raking, take all those leaves and put them in a pile or store them to be used as the "brown" part for composting for the next summer. Last year I saved 2 bags of leaves and this year I am going to save 4. I did not save enough last year! Nice post about trees. anna www.green-talk.com I agree with you about the trees.
