New Year. New Lens on Soil
If improving soil is on your list this year, here’s a simple place to start:
→ Download the Free Soil Quality Toolkit ←
It’s designed to help you assess your soil consistently and track changes over time using two documents:
Indicator Guide
Field Evaluation Sheet
A simple 1-3 scoring rubric for key biological, physical and chemical indicators.
How To Use It
Download and save the toolkit somewhere you can easily find again.
Review the Indicator Guide before scoring so you stay consistent.
Print the Field Evaluation sheet (or use it digitally).
Choose one field (or a section of a field) you’re most interested in monitoring.
Record scores + evidence, then repeat each season.
Tip: Repeating the evaluation on the same field around the same time each year makes your comparisons much more meaningful.
