Following on from my previous article on Soil Sampling, the next step is preparing the sample for testing. This requires a good mixing of the sample to avoid skewed results and grinding the sample down to a fine mixture of less than 2mm particle size to make the testing as
The ever-evolving scope of sustainable agriculture is rife with many new and old solutions to perceived problems in modern agriculture. Many solutions that are presented are described as logical and obvious. Biochars can be seen as one of these solutions, high soil carbon is generally good so lets just add
In science there are few things that are done without purpose or at least precedence and there is likely something interesting to be learned. If you run a farm or work in agronomy this may be obvious, but the decision theory behind soil sampling can get complicated. This also isn&
