How-To Home Soil Tests
How has everyone fared this winter storm? Being ice bound has given me some lovely, guilt-free time to work on my writing projects. The result is that I am very pleased to announce the fifth ebook in my The Little Series of Homestead How-Tos.
I'm hoping it will be a useful resource for gardeners, homesteaders, homeschoolers, or anyone interested in the soil.
Chapters:
What Is Soil?
How To Determine Soil Texture
Touch Test
Ball and Ribbon Test
Soil Texture By Feel Chart
Canning Jar Test
Texture Triangle (chart)
How To Use the USDA Web Soil Survey
How To Test Soil pH
How To Dig a Soil Sample
Kitchen pH Test
Red Cabbage pH Test
How To Make Cabbage pH Paper
Litmus or pH Paper Test
pH Meter Testing
How To Read Soil Colors
How To Test For Drainage
How To Do an Earthworm Test
How To Read Your Plants
Symptoms of Deficiency
What Your Weeds Can Tell You
Why All Soil Lab Results Aren't The Same
Like the other ebooks in the series, it includes a glossary and resources for digging deeper.
List price is 99¢ USD, but I am offering it for free – today and tomorrow only. The free offer is at Smashwords, where you can choose any eReader format, including a PDF version for those who wish to read it on their computer. Simply enter the code RZ77V at checkout.
It's also available at Amazon, although I don't have an option there for a coupon code there. Still, for 99¢ you can have it auto-delivered directly to your Kindle.
I very much hope you will enjoy it, and that you will consider it worthy of a good review at either Amazon, Smashwords, or both!
