Ugh, I just don't get why they had to use seismic waves lol

. Can't we just stick with traditional soil testing methods? This "soilsmology" technique sounds like a bunch of unnecessary tech

. And what's with the need for a hammer? Like, can't they just use a regular probe or something?
And don't even get me started on the fact that it's only available as an app

. I mean, sure, free apps are always cool and all, but what about people who don't have smartphones? Or those in areas with bad internet connectivity? It just seems like another example of technology being more important than actual human needs

.
Plus, I'm still skeptical about how accurate this method is. I mean, it's not like they're actually measuring the soil health or anything, they're just using waves to make an educated guess

. And what about all the variables that could affect the results? Soil type, moisture levels, microorganism populations... the list goes on and on

.
I guess only time will tell if this "soilsmology" technique is actually going to make a difference in the fight against food insecurity

. But for now, I'm just gonna stick with my trusty old soil testing kit
