You must be quite knowledgeable when it comes to the topic of homesteading, so I was wondering if you could perhaps help me out: Where would the best state be for backyard gardening/homesteading? I want an area that contains the most fertile soil possible in the US. Much appreciated in advance!
@@MrMarkovka11 Not an AG expert, farmer, or even much of a backyard gardener, but I would say growing season and water availability are far more important than soil fertility in picking a place to homestead. You can change and improve the soil anywhere, but you can't force the sun to shine or the rain to fall.
I just want give a like but your like is already 999 when I'm watching, I will back and watching again, because your explanation have so much information
In very sandy areas, like much of the Gulf (of Mexico) Coastal Plain, horizon A, if it exists at all. Is millimeters (grassland or lawn) to 4" (humus under fairly ancient live oaks and similar woodland), but "E" extends all the way down to hardpan, which is possibly near the water table, but my experience / sample size is too limited to say if it always coincides. You don't often get much organic accumulation where rainfall (thus decomposition and leaching) is excessive and the native mineral soil is basically silica, with negligible CEC and internal fertility.
Nicely done. I am in a master gardener volunteer program at Ohio State, we used this as an intro to soil horizons. Thanks. GO BUCKS ;-)

Currently taking a soil science class at Purdue, I feel famous because I just look at these exact monoliths today in lab!
Now, 3 years have passed; how your impression on it;?

This is what I was looking for. Complete. Thank you so much.❤
Very good and clear explanation, thank you sir and greetings from Malaysia.
I'm a WVU Forest Resource Management major taking soil science. I find your material very helpful. Thank you Purdue!
This is the best video I have ever seen of soil profile 👌👌
Thank you, this is what I needed!
perfect intro demonstration. thank you.
You are the best Prof 👌🙏
Mm u know ur work thnx❤

Thanks . That helped to clear things up.
My question would be: Do the horizons vary in size, or are the sizes predictable?
This is exactly what I’m looking for! Thank you

Yes
Thank you very much Prof 🙏
Very good teaching
Thank you🌱🍃🌲🌳🌴
this helped me out so much tysvm
Can you please explain me what is regolith?????
Regolith means rock
I think it is the unconsolidated parent material formed by the weathering process of rocks.
A+B horizon of soil is regolith
As far as I could remember from our soil science class, regolith consists of all loose materials above bedrock. So runs from O to C horizon. :3
Lol it’s like asking questions on a video produced by a college is unheard of
Thank you very much sir 🌱
Thank you
Hay una versión en español?:(
Bro, ponelo en Google Traductor ;)
xdxd
What? How?
Thanks teacher
Thank’s 🌿
Thank you very much.🌱
miracle grow perfect soils
thank you sir
hell yeah dirt babey
Bill nye’s brother 😂
What a confused explanation.
Maybe you are confused. Projecting much?
