The nation’s soil watchdog is inviting Canadians to get their drawers down and dirty to test soil health.
It’s the Soil Your Undies campaign from the Soil Conservation Council of Canada and Innovative Farmers Association of Ontario. It aims to get us all to bury a pair of cotton knickers to demonstrate “the amazing activity that happens right under our feet.”
“What better way to understand the inner workings of our soil than with your own easy-to-do soil science experiment,” SCCC chair and Ontario farmer, Alan Kruszel said. “Healthy soil is full of amazing, living organisms. It is what sustains us and is the foundation of a thriving civilization”
Good for civilization, bad for underwear, apparently.
Briefly, the experiment starts with participants digging a hole in the soil they want to test, dropping in a new pair of 100 per cent cotton briefs and marking the spot with a flag.
After a few months buried in healthy soil, there “shouldn’t be much left of your undies,” the SCCC reports.
It helpfully provides a step-by-step guide at www.soilcc.ca and invites participants to post photos and videos on Twitter under the hashtags #SoilYourUndies or #CdnSoilWeek17.
The dirty laundry will be aired at the Summit on Canadian Soil Health in Guelph August 22-3.
