Join the big farmland soil health assessment 23 - 31st March 2019
Co-created with farmers and used to survey 3000 hectares so far - only takes 30 - 60 minutes & a spade....
The survey booklet is available below (or please get in contact with Jackie - 250 post packs available, will ship worldwide).
Online results entry will be available here between the 23rd March - 5th April 2019.
NEW: I'd like to try to develop image analysis for earthworms. If you'd like to help, then please download and use the Image Analysis sheet (it has a scale bar and colour correction) and take a photo of the earthworms that you find in each soil pit. Upload these images with your results. With your help, I hope that this will lead to a speedy and accurate analysis tool.

Interpretation:
The aim of this soil health test is to assess whether you have good earthworm populations. The interpretation is a simple PASS/FAIL result for each field, and online results entry will be available during the earthworm sampling season to automatically calculate the result, but also earthworm populations.
