When we visited the community garden, we used the Munsell Soil Chart to determine the type of soil we were looking at. This method only uses sight for soil identification, which means it sometimes can be inaccurate. Another method that can help is the flow chart. It determines the soil by asking various questions about the texture and feel.
The community gardens in Macon was fun to experience. It was interesting how the beds were raised to avoid lead contamination. It is awesome to see that people are growing these different plants locally so we can help support local businesses and eat food in which we positively know where it comes from.
