TIL the old timer at the hardware store knew more about my soil than any app.
He'd just look at a handful and nod. Now I scan barcodes on bags and read reviews from strangers.

That old timer knowing soil? Heard real pros can tell by feel.

Actually, what gets me is how that skill reads the whole land, not just the dirt. A pro might notice how water pools in one spot after a light rain, or where the moss grows thick on the north side of the trees. They see why certain plants always struggle in a corner of the field even if the soil feels the same. It's less about the dirt in your hand and more about the story the whole place is telling.
