Grou nd cov er re Sco 0 1 2 3 Dis per sion ing Slak Using the Bullseye Score Card The RASH approach uses a visual way to score soil health – the Soil Health Bullseye Score Card – making it easy to quickly spot poor aspects of soil health. To complete the RASH using the Soil Health Bullseye Score Card, follow these steps: 1. Write the name of the monitoring site at the top of the Bullseye Score Card. 2. Complete the texture test and write this at the top of the card. The texture needs only to be tested the first time soil at that site is monitored. It is a permanent property of the soil and will not change. 3. Assess each RASH soil health indicator, and evaluate these against benchmarks, scoring them from 0 to 3. Note the Ground Cover Condition worksheet is on page 26 on the back of the Bullseye Score Card. 4. Fill in the score for each indicator onto the relevant section of the card. 5. Review the Bullseye Score Card and identify those indicators that score below 2. For any low scoring indicators see ”Management options” on page 23. The aim is to score a bullseye for each indicator!
