http://thedirtdude.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
All things soil and agriculture related. Thursday, May 14, 2009. First day in China. Ok, so really all we've done is walk around, eat, and explore our immediate surroundings. But here are a few photos of the market and a food stall. First, select the kind of noodles you want, then they add the ingredient. She was nice enough to ask if we wanted hot stuff. I did, but just a little. The stove is heated with coal briquettes. Which chicken would you like for dinner? The largest sunflower seeds I've ever seen.

All things soil and agriculture related. Saturday, December 13, 2008. Last trip to the field!

The Dirt Dude: Soil mapping
http://thedirtdude.blogspot.com/2009/04/soil-mapping.html
All things soil and agriculture related. Friday, April 17, 2009. I've been helping out with soil morphology labs this semester. We spent the last couple of weeks on a soil mapping exercise. First you start with a map of the area of interest, and locate boring holes. Once you reach the boring location, you use an auger to bore down to the depth of interest. Some of the soil horizons are clearly visible in this photo. April 18, 2009 at 12:36 AM. April 18, 2009 at 1:56 AM. April 19, 2009 at 3:16 PM. I presu...
