The Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) started a blog several years ago that covers all aspects of soils from water to organic matter to soil temperature to soil formation to building a retaining wall to ………..the list goes on and on. Something to read on a rainy day, if that ever comes.

• What are alluvial soils?
• What type of soil is good for a foundation for buildings or houses?
• When does rock become soil?
• Why do farmers use fertilizers?
• How does soil moisture impact our lives?
• What are sources of phosphorus for crops?
• What is soil temperature?
• How long does soil take to form?
