Soil Jar
Read full descriptionHide full description
Discover your soil texture with a jar, water and your iPhone. Soil Jar guides you through the traditional soil jar test using clear, visual instructions. Once the sample has settled, photograph the jar, mark the visible layers and let the app calculate the proportions of sand, silt and clay. Your measurements are then converted into a recognised soil texture classification, such as loam, sandy loam, clay loam or silt loam. HOW IT WORKS Collect a representative soil sample. Add soil, water and a small amount of washing-up liquid to a straight-sided jar. Shake the jar and allow the particles to settle. Photograph the separated layers. Drag the measurement guides into position. View your soil texture result. VISUAL, INTERACTIVE GUIDANCE Follow illustrated instructions that show how to prepare the sample, photograph the jar and identify each sediment layer. MEASURE THE LAYERS Use four draggable guides to mark: • The bottom of the sediment • The top of the sand layer • The top of the silt layer • The top of the clay layer Sand, silt and clay percentages update as the guides move. UNDERSTAND THE RESULT See: • Your soil texture classification • Sand, silt and clay percentages • A visual layer-composition chart • Your position on the soil texture triangle • A short, plain-language explanation SAVE YOUR TESTS Name tests by garden area, add notes and keep a local history of completed results. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Soil photographs, measurements and saved results remain on your device. Soil Jar estimates soil texture from the visible proportions of sand, silt and clay. It does not measure pH, nutrients, contamination, fertility or soil health.

You’ve lived more than you think. Now see it. The places you went. The books you read. The runs you finished. The people you met. The things you learned. The days you showed up. The moments that mattered only to you. They happened. Dopli gives them a place to exist. Drop one whenever something becomes part of your life. No scores. No streaks. No need to decide whether it was big enough to count. If it mattered to you, it counts. One drop becomes ten. Ten become a hundred. And slowly, something appears: Your life. Not measured by someone else’s goals. Not reduced to productivity. Not judged by how perfectly you lived it. Just the things you actually did, experienced, felt, and cared about — taking shape in front of you. YOUR LIFE, MADE VISIBLE. • Create your own Traces • Drop a moment with one tap • Give each Trace its own color and symbol • See when every moment happened • Watch months and years take shape in Journey • See your drops come alive with playful physics • Choose a companion to share the journey • Keep everything in sync with iCloud • No account required Some lives look extraordinary from the outside. Yours should look extraordinary to you.
