Visual Evaluation of Soil Structure:
- gently tease apart along lines of natural weakness to look for soil aggregate shape and size at different depths
- gently crush aggregates between finger and thumb to assess friability and density

Great summary of what to ask when looking to use biofertilisers, soil conditioners, or biostimulants.

[Andrew McGuire @agronomistag]

Soil bio-products are risky. So when you use a bio-product, you are looking for the exception. How can you make it a little less risky? By asking some hard questions.
What's your goal?
What's in it?
How does it work?
