Clay test
Hi, I’ve just done clay test and I’m confused! I can’t see a clear silt layer, do you think top layer is clay? There is an indentation in the plastic jar I’m using!

Vacuum sealing jars with screw lids?
I would like to reuse jam jars etc. with a one piece screw lid (so not the mason jar type with two pieces). Do you know of any equipment to easily create a vacuum? I bought something online but it’s not working properly on the jars I have. Might be a size thing or just not a solution that is very robust…
Thanks for feedback!

Anyone with experience in remediating very salted soil?
Looking at a soil test on a project that is reading: Soluble Salts mmmho/cm at 2.88. pH is 8.3.
This is an old horse field that was flood irrigated in a high desert environment in Colorado USA: 5400′ elevation 9″ precipitation per year. The goal is an irrigated, mixed annual perennial garden.
There is visible salting at the surface in a few spots. It has filled in with desert grass and weeds. This initial test was down to 8″, but will be testing to 3′ and 6′ to see how deep it goes and if there are any water table issues.
Any thoughts or experience is appreciated.
