For this week’s forum, find a topic of interest to you in readings from this week about soils and agriculture or horticulture and do some additional research on it (at least 3 sources plus your text). Embed a video and an image(s) that helps explain or provides more information on your topic for discussion. Embed those images and video within your detailed summary of your chosen topic. Don’t forget to keep the focus on the soil, after all that is what we are interested in here!

At a minimum comment on two of your peers’ threads, while monitoring your own thread to answer any questions or offer clarification. The goal is to build scholarly discussion that helps you understand the course topics. You will need to reply to posts within your original thread each week to complete the discussion. Include a unique title to identify your thread and facilitate discussion. Always cite all reference sources in APA format.
