Collecting Our Soil

    We collected our soil from Cuba Marsh. The soil was difficult to get a lot of because once we reached 12 inches deep, we noticed it got more grainy, and it was harder to scoop up the particles. We mostly noticed roly polys and rocks in the soil which was covered by grass and leaves. The soil looked dry and was a light brown. The particle sizes were mostly smaller particles but there were also a lot of clumps. There was a walking path and a lot of trees in the area. The path could effect our results since it means that part of the area has clearly been altered by man. To try and
avoid this we picked a spot away from the path.
