Interesting article in the Guardian with some pleasing facts about allotment soil being better than argricultural soil.

Thank you MOS - think that I will also sign up - the more that we understand our soil the better for us as gardeners.

I slept on it... and have signed up now too. Hoping to learn lots of new information  that will help me in food growing

There is still time to sign up for the FutureLearn course on 'Soil'. Bonus - it is free. I am really looking forward to it.

Oh goody, if I don't know the answers to the test - I can ask all of you   

I think I may have a lot to do, as my Archaeology of Portus  course will still have 2 or 3 weeks to run when the soil one starts    they say 3 or 4 hours, per course - but if you follow all the comments and links that are posted they take longer than that
