This week’s #quote from my book ‘Healing Soil’ amazon.co.uk/dp/1739593103 is another one of Paul Hargreaves’ @DrPaulSoil nice Haiku:
‘Dark, firm and fertile
Rich in humus, sweet of smell
Complex living soil’

Memories! Working @ScotFundCouncil has been making me relive my time in research and today I walked down memory lane in person.
Very nostalgic though I can’t say it made me miss being in a lab, I’m definitely better behind a desk than a fumehood...

Visual Evaluation of Soil Structure (VESS) is a great way of assessing soil health, especially its structure:

We want to know if #vess has worked for you. Have you seen changes eg. improved soil health or crop yields?
