Our lab explored the community gardens supported by Macon Roots and Centenary United Methodist Church. While there, we tested the soil by three processes. The first was the sieves, which I conveniently dropped all over the ground while shaking them.
I need lessons from this guy here
The second process was a soil probe with a "split spoon corer". We used it to dig into the ground, and we saw the layers and color changes of the soil.
The third process got a little messy. We used our hands to make mudballs, and the dichotomous key to determine our soil types.
