How should I prepare my soil for planting a groundcover?

Testing soil before planting

A good idea is to test the soil for pH and nutrient levels before planting a groundcover. The amendments recommended on the soil test results should be added and worked into the soil. This is especially important if phosphorus is low, since it does not move readily through the soil.
