| Discovery Notes | The soil type was fertile garden soil.
I dug 8.89 centimeters into the soil.
The temperature was 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
On top of a large hill in West Virginia, near Spenser, WV.
I found the sample in a vegetable garden which cantained peppers and tomatoes. Being in the area of a former pasture field and a current residential area, the ground was relatively flat, and the soil must have been tread on often during the gardening process. The garden was surrounded by a fence, but other than that, the closest structure was a driveway, which was approximately 25ft away. The soil was relatively moist, and it should yield some interesting phage do to its fertility. |
