   • Soil Organisms. Healthy soil is full of animal life. Dig a hole at least 6 inches deep. Watch the interior of the hole for 4 minutes. Count the number and species of critters you see like spiders, ground beetles & centipedes.
   • Earthworms. Worms aerate the soil, allowing better circulation. They also eat organic material, so a big worm population means your soil is rich in nutrients.
   • Soil Structure/Tilth. Tilth is the condition of tilled soil. Dig a 6 – 10-inch deep hole in damp soil. Remove a soup can-sized section intact. Break it apart.
   • Workability. If your soil is hard to work or till and you get clods as a result, your soil has low workability. Workable soil is less likely to compact and allows better circulation of water and vital nutrients.
