SOIL TESTING - Simple/Useful/DIY tests

    Through a Twitter post, I discovered the following website that gave 20 various tests for evaluating soil health.  Most are useful for both pasture and cropland, with visual observation tips and evaluation sheets/parameters to track progress to improved soil health.  Many only require taking a spade depth and width plug of soil (I use a trenching shovel for it's long narrow blade), and a number of these tests/observations can be made with the same sample.
