It’s ALL about soil! Most people only have a vague idea of what soil is and how it works.  You will learn more than you ever thought possible from this lecture:  the reason you are alive, what nutrients are, how soil stores water and nutrients.  The fundamentals that ALL humans on the planet Earth should know!
