Soil Testing: Test the soil before starting a construction in order to avoid problems.
| Soil Test 1 | Dig a pit of 1/1/1 foot ( 1 cubic foot ) at the center of the plot where the two diagonals of the rectangle meet, fill the same with water to its full at sun set and close it with stone slab. Remove the stone slab the next day at sunrise and observe. If there is no water left and it is observed that the pit is dried and cracked the plot is unworthy for construction of any building. If water is retained the plot is ideal for construction ( the more water retained the better). |
| Soil Test 2 | As above dig pit a of one cubic foot and fill the same pit with the soil so removed. If some soil is left over it shows that the plot is very good for construction. if no soil is left over but the pit is full the plot is just moderate for construction. If the pit is still not full filled it shows that the plot is totally unworthy of any construction. |
