Trying a new soil test system out for a neighbor's yard. Be sure to use distilled or bottled water for the best results. Also, if you suffer from color blindness, you'll need assistance viewing the results of the test 😉 Finally, if the soil is too thick, you may need a larger suction utensil than the one that comes with this package. Hope you have a great day 👍🏿

Don’t sow your seeds 🌱 before making this simple test 💚 If you have old seed packets and you’re unsure about their viability, this quick water test can help you screen them before planting. How to do the water test Take a glass of filtered water. Place a few seeds on a spoon and drop them into the water. Wait 10 to 15 minutes. Seeds that sink are usually denser and more likely to be viable. Seeds that float are often weaker, damaged, or empty. You can discard most floating seeds. Use a strainer to collect the sinking seeds and plant them straight away, since once seeds are wet they should not be dried and stored again. Important to know The water test does not guarantee germination. It is a fast screening method, not a definitive viability test. If you want to go further, you can do a simple germination test. Take about 20 percent of your seeds, place them on a damp paper towel, keep them warm, and check after a few days how many sprout. This gives you a clear germination rate and helps you decide whether to sow normally, sow more densely, or replace the packet. The water test is a practical way to check seed viability, especially for older vegetable seeds like beans, peas, corn, squash, or melon. Green Love to you 💚 Follow for more gardening tips

Easy DIY soil pH test with red cabbage! So fun to do, show your kids too! Chop red cabbage, boil it for a couple of minutes in distilled water, and let it steep until the water turns deep purple. Strain and cool it, then pour a little over a soil sample in a clear jar or glass. Let it sit for a couple of hours. Now the fun part… Watch the color change: 🟥 Pink / Red → Acidic soil 🟪 Purple → Neutral soil 🟦 Blue → Neutral 🟦🟩 Blue / Green → Slightly alkaline 🟩 Green → Alkaline 🟨 Yellow → Alkaline Soil pH Levels: Alkaline: has a pH level above 7.0 Neutral: pH 7.0 Slightly Acidic: pH 6.1–6.5 Moderately Acidic: pH 5.6–6.0 Strongly Acidic: pH 5.1–5.5 Very Strongly Acidic: Below 5.0 (or <4.9) Most vegetables thrive in slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0 Here are a few general categories to give you an idea of what prefers what: 🍓 Acidic Soil or Slightly Acidic: Blueberries, strawberries, potatoes, radishes, blueberries, cranberries, rhododendrons, camellias, rhubarb, parsley, turnips. 🥦 Slightly Acidic to Neutral - Most Common Veggies: Broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, onions, peppers, radishes, squash.  🥕 Neutral soil Carrots, beans, peas, lettuce, tomatoes 🥬 Slightly alkaline soil Cabbage, spinach, cauliflower, kale, beets This is a simple way to stop guessing before planting healthy soil for happier plants and better harvests. I also think it’s a fun way to start planting season!

My favorite sustainable method for building up healthy soil.

Gardening can be fun and exciting. I like exploring, testing, and trialing to see what works for me. This viral seed starting method had me intrigued, so I decided to try it. I'll be documenting the process, as well as the comparison between the two methods I've shown. #seedlings #garden #seed #soil #growth
