Ep.40 Soil carbon - Dr Sam Grover (Soil Science Australia, RMIT)

Plants Grow Here - Horticulture, Landscape Gardening & Ecology

Dr Samantha Grover is back! This time she teaches us about soil carbon including how it gets out of the air and into the ground, and why we want it there in the first place. It turns out carbon isn't evil, in fact it forms the basis of life on earth for all of us carbon-based life forms!
