Vastu For Soil Selection

Soil Selection

Vaastu places a great deal of importance on the proper quality of

soil at the site for a house. An initial test of sorts is to dig two pits
of the dimensions 2 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet. Care must be taken
that the soil of the two pits is not mixed together. In one of these
pits the soil should be put back. Once the pit is filled , the pits
should be a residue of soil left over. If the dug -up soil exactly
packs the pit or even worse, falls short, then the site is not
regarded as being productive of prosperity. The other pit is to be
filled to the brim with water, in an ideal site, the water should take
over an hour to be absorbed by the soil. If it takes less time than
that, the site is regarded as a potential drain on resounds. Large
cracks left behind in the pit after the water drains away is a for
warning of extensive, construction expenses. A couple small
cracks is not a matter of concern; if there are more than seven
cracks, watch out. A quicker test of soil quality is to dig the pit, fill
it with water, and walk away for a length of 100 paces at your
normal gait. When you return, a good site will retain over half the
water, an average site between One -half the water, and a poor
site; less than one fourth.
