There are three total planned to cover this material starting with Soil Structure, then Good Soil, and finishing up the series with Degraded and Rebuilding Soil. Specifically, the following will be covered in this show:

  1. What is soil?
  2. Soil Texture
  3. Soil Tests: Ball and Jar
  4. Soil Horizons

This is an updated version of the soil texture diagram. I prefer this one because the color coding makes it easier to read.
