My Favorite type of soil is the Histosol. I find this soil the most interesting because it is made up of organic compounds. These compounds are made from decomposed animals and plants. This is also where organic carbon can be found as well. The longer and more accumulations of decomposed matter in this soil is when coal will begin to form. Most histosols are found in Canada, Scandanavia, New Guinea, and even the swamps of Florida.

Community Gardens are becoming a popular activity for people in urban areas. These gardens are tend to by people in the community, and they take part to help promote a food system. The community garden we went to is a non profit organization gardened by people from Mercer and other neighbors. This is a great way for people to come together and help the community.
