EPA Regions Lead is a highly toxic metal that was used for many years in products found in and around our homes. Lead may cause a range of health effects, from behavioral problems and learning disabilities, to seizures and death. Children 6 years old and under are most at risk, because their bodies are growing quickly. Research suggests that the primary sources of lead exposure for most children are: - lead contaminated residential soil. EPA is playing a major role in addressing these residential lead hazards. In 1978, there were nearly three to four million children with elevated blood lead levels in the United States. In the 1990s, that number had dropped to 434,000 kids, and it continues to decline. While we still have a significant challenge, EPA is very proud of how federal, state, and private sector partners have coordinated efforts with the public to better protect our children.

BLM NSTC Soil Biological Communties
soil Biological Communities. The Dirt on Dirt Dirt is dirt, right? All right, lets clear up one thing about dirt we like to call it soil.
http://www.blm.gov/nstc/soil/

Extractions: Soil is filled with life. Whole communities, some of them very complex and with distinct functions, are literally right under our feet. In fact, the majority of rangeland ecosystem diversity occurs below-ground and up to 90 percent of the total productivity of rangelands occurs in the soil. Think of that shovel full of soil as hiding a thriving, dynamic, and very busy community, with different organisms filling important roles to make the whole thing work.

Free Soil, Michigan
Businesses, map, government, recreation, ,weather, festivals and events.
http://multimag.com/city/mi/freesoil/

Extractions: Weather Free Soil was originally the name of the township in 1855 in this northern section of Mason County , then later the village in 1915. During the lumber boom it became a regular stop on the Pere Marquette Railroad. Its name came from the "Free Soil," or anti-slavery party originally organized in New York in 1848. The idea for the name originated with Charles Freeman at the first township meeting in 1855, where members of a newly-formed lumbering community called Free Soil Mills expressed strong feelings about the matter. Today, the big lumber is gone, but the village has survived as a successful farming community. Fertile soil has resulted in a variety of crop production, especially apple and peach orchards.
Soil Erosion
soil erosion is a natural process. Replacing the soil nutrients carried out to sea by our rivers each year, with fertilizer, would cost R1000 million.
http://www.botany.uwc.ac.za/Envfacts/facts/erosion.htm

Extractions: * Annual soil loss in South Africa is estimated at 300 - 400 million tonnes, nearly three tonnes for each hectare of land. * Replacing the soil nutrients carried out to sea by our rivers each year, with fertilizer, would cost R1000 million. * For every tonne of maize, wheat, sugar or other agricultural crop produced, South Africa loses an average of 20 tonnes of soil. * The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation, a branch of United Nations) estimates that the global loss of productive land through erosion is 5-7 million ha/year.

Yet it is and has been abused by us to the point of self destruction. Many past civilizations have perished due to their abuse of the soil (like Mesopotamia and the Mayan civilization). Why didn't anyone stop the destruction? The soil destruction process takes time and the changes in each generation are "small" so no one cared-and most of us still don't. The soil in which we plant crops today has been self perpetuating for millions of years without man's help. It will continue to do so if we do not disturb its natural cycle. In the soil there are nutrients and trace elements both of which plants require for growth. They are essential. Soil moves continually in a natural cycle aided by oxygen, water, minerals and decomposing animal and plant matter. These elements create life in the soil, which is ongoing if not disturbed. We speak of healthy soil if it works well and nutrients continue to be available to the plant. Good soil consists of 93% mineral and 7% bio organic substances. The bio organic parts are 85% humus,10% roots, and 5% edaphon.

Extractions: Soil sampling without true, representative samples is a waste of time and energy. That's why you need the Hoffer Soil Sampler. Why take soil samples? Soil sampling is simple and inexpensive, yet it easily returns your investment many times over. Soil sampling helps avoid wasting expensive fertilizer because of improper application. It can guide crop rotation plans. It can lead to higher crop yields. All of these lead to greater soil performance and higher profits.

Growing Asparagus In The Home Garden, HYG-1603-94
Information on soil requirements, planting, insects and diseases, weed control, harvesting, and storage.
http://www.ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/1603.html

Extractions: Asparagus is a long-lived perennial vegetable crop that is enjoyed by many gardeners. It can be productive for 15 or more years if given proper care. Asparagus grows in most any soil as long as it has good internal drainage. Asparagus roots do not like waterlogged soils that will lead to root rot. It prefers a soil pH of 6.5-7.5., and will not do well if the pH is less than 6.0. Have the soil tested to determine phosphorus and potassium needs; or add 20 lbs of a 10-20-10 or similar analysis fertilizer per 1,000 square feet, tilled to a 6 inch depth before planting. Buy one-year-old, healthy, disease-free crowns from a reputable crown grower. A crown is the root system of a one-year-old asparagus plant that is grown from seed. Each crown can produce 1/2 lb. of spears per year when fully established. A list of crown growers appears at the end of this fact sheet. Asparagus can be planted from seed. However, caring for the small seedlings until they become established can be time consuming. Also, because the seeds are spaced a few inches apart, the crowns will have to be dug and transplanted to their permanent, wider-spaced location in the garden after one year. Thus, one year of potential spear production is lost due to transplanting.
