Bury 2 White Underwear in the Garden and This Will Happen | Soil Test

While there are many scientific ways and gadgets to determine your soil quality, they can either be a little time-consuming or expensive. But one quick and straightforward way to do this is to Bury 2 White Underwear in the Garden. Confused? Read more below!
The study on this was first started by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Canada, where the cotton test was performed by a soil management specialist as ‘food’ for soil organisms. In soils with higher biological activity, the cotton underwear was more disintegrated as the organisms feed on it, indicating they were active in the soil.
The University of Zurich and the Swiss Federal Research Institute are also researching and investigating the biodiversity in soil by burying a pair of underwear into the ground and promoting it as a do-it-yourself test, so private gardeners and farmers can examine and understand their soil health.
The test is quite simple to do and understand. A cotton underpants is buried into the soil for 2 months. After the time period, it is taken out and examined for its condition. If it is badly degraded, this indicates a high number of microbial activity, showing the soil isrich and healthy, which is excellent for gardening and agriculture.
Usually, the soil should be diverse–beneficial fungi, bacteria worms, and other helpful microorganisms should be present. The more they are, the more will be their activity in the soil, ensuring it is rich and healthy. When you bury white cotton underwear in the ground, these beings feed on the material. By going through the level of decomposition of the fabric, you can determine how healthy and nourished your soil is.
You can bury a couple of cotton underwear in your garden at different spots–deep enough to cover

Sunday 12th March 2023 – Pricking out and lots of sowing.
Saturday morning was filled with house chores and food shopping, and the afternoon was filled with a bell ringing competition, so there was no time in the day to pop out in the garden. So on Sunday after a little morning ringing (usual) and then a tip trip (not usual) first thing, when I finally got home I was in the garden for the rest of the day.

Hydrangeas – Beyond the Mop Head
I recently had the great pleasure of spending three hours walking round the garden of the 82 year old hydrangea expert and breeder, Maurice Foster. Despite the fact the temperature had plummeted from 28º the previous day, to 13º – and it was pouring with rain throughout – I loved every moment and came away determined to grow more hydrangeas – especially those of the non-mop-head species. Inspired by him I took a closer look at the hydrangeas in my own garden and at Wisley. I am anti mop-heads, far from
