For the soil, you can get a test kit at any garden center that will tell you pH and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium levels. pH for most things should be 6-8. If the pH is lower than 6, you can sprinkle agricultural lime, higher than 8 sprinkle rock sulphur. For low nitrogen, add fishmeal or composted poop, for low potassium add greensand, for low phosphorus add bone meal or rock phosphate.
