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!
