In July of 2023, Stacey agreed to sponsor a #soilyourundies challenge for SJND High School's AP Biology class. KENT provided us 26 pairs of their Hipster Underwear, which we buried in the forgotten garden bed behind the school’s offices. 2 months later, in April of 2024, they were unearthed and the results of the experiment were jaw dropping.

Ben utilizes drone photography, satellite data, and LiDAR technology to create stunning topographic maps. These maps not only showcase the landscape's beauty but also provide vital insights into its hydrology, making them essential for permaculture designers. By meticulously analyzing the terrain's features, such as contour and slope, Ben's maps serve as invaluable tools for understanding water movement. This knowledge guides his permaculture strategies, ensuring a harmonious integration of human design and natural systems that prioritize water conservation and sustainability.

John Rasic is probably among just a handful of people who have dug so many deep pits, in so many places around the world. His soil studies and insights are not only valuable to the many agricultural projects he has consulted on globally, but also to a layman like me who seeks deeper understanding. I highly recommend John's Youtube channel which is very informative, eye-opening, and entertaining.
