I’ve published a book recently on Amazon called “Home Inspection Hacks for Foundations”. The hope is it will provide useful information to homeowners about their homes foundation. An often overlooked part of the home that many homeowners do not know much about. The foundation supports every part of the home you see above ground and it is often challenging to access and observe. If it’s ignored or if issues occur that are not discovered in a timely manner, a tremendous amount of damage may occur that could be very expensive to fix. Soil characteristics also play a large role in how a homes foundation performs over time. As a DIY book, I hope this book helps you as a homeowner manage your home, saves you money and provides you with peace of mind. Home Inspections Hacks for Foundations is available on Amazon in e-book or paperback cover formats and your review would be greatly appreciated!

For most back yard gardens one sample is often sufficient. For larger gardens or farms, several samples may be required in various areas to give you more accurate information.

Grid sampling and zone sampling are often used in larger fields. In smaller areas, composite sampling can be done where you are taking approx. a dozen core samples in a random spread out pattern in the garden. These soil cores make up one sample.

Sampling depth for most row type crops is 6 inches. Deeper samples from 12 inches to 24 inches is suggested for orchards or trees.

Soil probes are best for collecting samples.

You don't unless you test your soil.

Fertility soil testing is inexpensive and gives you a wealth of information on how to proceed in the amending of your soil.

Whether it's for maximizing crop production on your farm, having nutritious grass and pasture land for your ranch, having an abundant back yard garden plot, green lawn or a beautiful flower garden.
