| Discovery Notes | I collected around 80 mL of soil from the Monmouth College farm. The soil is from 0 to 6 inches deep and was a bit moist the morning I dug for it. I chose to dig on a compost pile right after it rained in order to give myself the best chance to capture a phage. |
| Naming Notes | My roommate and I were talking about what to name my phage. |
