Midwest Ames, IA National Soil Tilth Research Laboratory Printable Version E-mail this page This site only All ARS Advanced Search NSTL Publications You are here: Home Welcome to NSTL The National Soil Tilth Laboratory (NSTL) is a multi-disciplinary laboratory comprised of four research units. The research units are Soil and Water Quality, Agricultural Systems-Atmospheric Processes and Exchanges, Swine Odor and Manure Management, and Agricultural Land and Water Management. These four units represent an integrated effort to address the problems of crop and livestock management on environmental quality (air, soil, and water) and to develop production systems that are more efficient while enhancing environmental quality. Research in the NSTL is conducted at a range of scales from controlled laboratory experiments, growth chamber and rhizotron, plot, field, watershed, and regional scale. These different scales of research represent an effort to conduct research that impacts science, the agricultural community, the regulatory and policy community, and the general public. The individual research unit descriptions provide a detailed view of the research program and outreach efforts.

Ohio State University Extension Fact Sheet Horticulture and Crop Science 2021 Coffey Rd., Columbus, Ohio 43210-1086 Improving Soils for Vegetable Gardening HYG-1602-92 Marianne Riofrio E.C. Wittmeyer Vegetable plants grow best in a fertile, well-drained soil of loamy texture. Sandy loam soils, well-supplied with organic matter, are easily worked and are quite productive. Unfortunately, many gardens do not contain such soils. Very coarse, sandy soils dry out rapidly and are difficult to maintain at a high level of fertility. Clay soils are hard to work and usually remain wet until late in the spring. These soils are often yellow or dark brown and sticky when wet; or grayish in color where drainage is poor. Clay soils tend to form a hard crust after a heavy rain and become so compacted that the plant's root system is deprived of essential oxygen required for growth. Clay and sandy soils must be modified for successful vegetable gardening. Basic Considerations To obtain a desirable soil for gardening, consider the following areas of concern: water drainage, moisture condition at the time of working, erosion, texture and structure, fertility, and pH (acidity or alkalinity). Water Drainage Satisfactory vegetable production cannot be expected on poorly-drained soils. Where drainage problems exist, and where an outlet is available, four-inch drain tile in lines 25 feet apart is suggested. The tile should be at least 2 feet deep. The fall in the lines will depend on the outlet and length of lines, but water needs a fall of at least 2 inches per 100 feet of line.

Links and Resources About SOIL SOIL links Canadian farmers willing to take on and train apprentices with folks wanting to work and learn on an organic farm using sustainable practices. We aim to create appreticeships which transfer lasting knowledge to both the farmer and the apprentice. Established in 1989 as a non-profit organization, our goals are To encourage the growth of sustainable agriculture. To expose potential apprentices to a rural lifestyle. For those with little or no farming experience an apprenticeship can offer a valuable hands on learning environment in which to acquire the basic skills or even provide the basis for an agricultural career. To assist the farmer with the necessary support required to successfully run their organic operation. The farmers and farm community can also benefit greatly from the influx of new ideas, energy and enthusiasm of apprentices. Contact P.O. Box 807 Sooke, BC, Canada V9Z 1H8

Site Navigation Grow Beautiful Plants with Less Water! Soil Moist has been developed to reduce the amount of water needed to maintain vigorous plants and other green goods . When mixed in the soil, the crystals will soften and swell as water is added and absorbed. When the potting system dries, the polymer will release its water to the plant. Soil Moist acts as a water reservoireven during periods of drought the stored water is released to the plant. The expansion and retraction of the polymer during the watering cycle helps soil aeration, which is important to all plants. Note: Soil Moist must be incorporated into the soil at the root level of the plant/green good. Do not top dress or place on the surface. Soil Moist stores over 200 times its weight in tap water , releasing a steady supply of water as your plants need it. Soil Moist offers the following benefits: Reduces plant waterings Reduces evaporation of moisture from the soil Time releases fertilizer and water Encourages deep root penetration Reduces soil compaction Minimizes transplant shock Lasts several seasons Cost effective Environmentally friendly Soil Moist is a synthetic acrylic copolymer. The polymer is non-toxic and safe to use in all landscape applications. When added to landscape and planting applications, Soil Moist will continue to work for an extended period of time.
