Balance Sheet for Healthy Soils

In Table 23.1 of this week's readings “Building Soils for Better Crops” was Chapter 23 – “Putting It All Together," they discuss the idea of a “balance sheet” for healthy soils.

How can you apply the general ideas in such a balance sheet to a local situation that you know of? What is the site used for? This concept was used for an agricultural example, but how might this be adapted for an urban situation? For this assignment identify a specific site, include a sketch or a digital photo and prepare a “balance sheet for healthy soils” that is relevant for its future needs.

Save your work in a document on your computer. Submit your document and digital photographs in the Dropbox found on the Course Home page.
