- How not to take soil for a test
- Last year’s bag of soil didn’t match what the field did. I dug it at the edge.
- The headland, the manure heap and the wet corner all lie. Mix 8–15 spots of the tilled layer, write the depth on the bag. One spadeful is not this field. If the number is wrong, every recipe after it is the next county’s ledger.
