Soil Jar Test

  1. Grab a clean clear jar (like a mason jar) with a lid

  2. Fill it about halfway with soil from your yard, garden, etc.

  3. Add water until the jar is nearly full

  4. Shake it up well and let it sit for 24-48 hours

  5. Watch the soil settle into layers

  6. Once the sample has settled and the water at the top of the jar is mostly clear, you can read the results of your soil test.
