Activity: What’s Your Soil Story?  

Describe the type of soil you are “supposed to have” according to a soil map, but what is the reality of the soil for gardening in your yard? You can choose to do the soil at the site of a volunteer project if more appropriate.  Post your response in the A Mixed Bag category of our Google+ Community.
