Gardening in Small Places: the dirt on soil

If you’ve gardened in other parts of the country and then tried to garden here, you’ve noticed the soil here is different.  Our Mojave soils are infertile, salty and alkaline – fine for desert natives – but not good for much else.  If you’re curious about the soil in your yard, let Dr. Angela O’Callaghan help you learn about it.  For this class you’ll be asked to collect a baggie of soil from your yard to test.
