I posted a thread with my links, but I'll put them here as well.

Hello everyone!  I'm currently taking a Basic Soil Science course for fun, and I was introduced to some awesome links:

WebSoil Survey, for those Seedians in the USA, is a fantastic tool to learn about the soil on your property, on a property you might want to buy, or anywhere you feel like looking.  The different soil names can be interesting, as well.

Compost Junkie is all about organic compost and compost tea, and the science behind how it works.  Lots of info on fungi and bacteria in the soil  :o

I hope they help, or at least amuse you for a while  :)
