Ohhh, you're talking over a wide area, so that's why you're not sampling...
ReplyDeletehmmm, I don't know how well we can match what's there.
It's faster and works better with sandy soil, not sure how samples will be, may be muddy(lots of clay). We could start by collecting one sample locally and see what we can do with it. Figure out what we can measure about it, and how closely it matches what the soil reports say... I'm expecting a large amount of variation just in the quad cities.
