2015- the International Year of Soils
I highly recommend this fascinating documentary which provides an excellent basic knowledge of soil formation and biology in a beautifully filmed and easily understood fashion. Definitely worth a watch.

I just finished watching it. Yes, definitely worth watching. It was close to two hours long (1.45 hrs), but way better then watching what was on television tonight. Thanks!

Karen, thank you very much for posting that link. It was very enjoyable and I learned a few new things. This New Year's Eve we can all raise a glass to "The Year of Soils"!
