| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was collected from a potted curry leaf plant. It partly cloudy conditions with a cool breeze present. It was slightly damp (due to light showers prior to sample collection) but crumbly in texture. It was an organic-rich potting soil, and it had minor surface debris, such as decomposing leaf material and mulch. Some small earthworms were observed. |
