Hello there!

I discovered this forum while using DuckDuckGo to look into a USDA soil survey.

I'm a small-time organic gardener/outdoorsman - currently hailing from the (metropolitan) Pacific Northwest.

A simpler lifestyle seems to be calling me lately, and... well, I need to learn things. Hoping to consult with any soil science-oriented folks here regarding the interpretation of USDA soil surveys, permaculture practices, etc.

Hope to see you around!

Hi Donner, welcome!  Lots of people here to talk soil and permaculture with.  One good thread to check out is Dr. Redhawk's epic soil series.

Glad to be here.

It seems more and more people are turning toward the old ways... Help is greatly appreciated.

Let's say I have a research subject - season extension/the creation of microclimates. Let's say I've developed a crude outline of "the basics", and I'd like to compare my outline with a knowledgeable person's outline before beginning research (gimme the basics, I'll research 'em).

Normally, I scour for previous threads before I post, then (assuming my questions haven't been answered) create a new thread in the appropriate forum.

What forum do you recommend for this topic (microclimates/season extension)?

Good question, I'd probably put it in the Permaculture section under Growies.
