| Discovery Notes | The soil was collected at 12:30 pm. The soil was taken from a rose garden outside of 603 Unit #1 in Crimson Court Townhouses. It was taken from the right, front corner near the sidewalk/door. The sample was dug out with a plastic spoon and placed into a Ziploc bag. The weather was sunny, partly cloudy, and humid at 84 degrees Fahrenheit. It was very moist, it had a deep brown color, it stuck together for the most part but had a tendency in some areas to crumble. There were worms found in the sample and it had stems and leaves found throughout. The soil was cool to the touch. |
