How often should you put limestone in your sandy soil for vegetable gardening?

You should lime your soil based on a soil test. If you send a soil sample to a soil test lab and ask for a "lime requirement," they will perform two tests: 1. pH 2. buffer pH The pH will tell you whether you need lime, the buffer pH will tell you how much lime you need if your pH is off. Sandy soils generally require less lime than soils higher in clay. When you lime your soil according to the lime requirement from the test lab, it is usually sufficient for 3 to 5 years. Limestone is only slightly soluble in water, so it takes several years to completely dissolve.


A sample of table salt contains 1.967g of sodium and 3.033g of chlorine. what percentage of the sample is sodium?

To find the percentage of the sample that is sodium, first calculate the total mass of the sample: 1.967g (sodium) + 3.033g (chlorine) = 5g. Then, divide the mass of sodium by the total mass of the sample and multiply by 100 to get the percentage: (1.967g / 5g) x 100 ≈ 39.3%.

How do you explain to a 5 year old child about plants need soil?

Plants need soil to grow because soil provides nutrients, water, and support for their roots. Just like how we need food to grow healthy and strong, plants need soil to stay healthy and grow big and tall. Soil is like a cozy home for plants, where they can get everything they need to live and thrive.

How do you determine the organic content of a soil sample?

The best way to determine the organic content of a soil sample is the following: 1. First weigh the lab vessel that you will be putting your sample in and write it down. 2. Scoop in 5 g of the sample into the vessel then weigh it again. 3. Subtract the weight of the vessel by the weight you got in #2. This is your starting weight. 4. After adjusting the muffler furnace to 360 C, put the soil sample you have measured out that is in the lab container in the furnace for two hours. 5. After two hours, put on heat resistant gloves and take out the sample to allow it to cool. It will be very hot, much too hot to handle at the moment. 6. When it is cool, weigh the sample again, and just like in #3, subtract the weight of the vessel to this sample weight and you will get the weight of the sample without the weight of the organic matter. 7. Now divide the weight of the of the soil without the organic matter by the starting weight (which should be 5 g), then multiply by 100. This will give you the amount of soil in the sample. Now subtract by 100 from this amount and you will get the amount of organic matter in the soil. For example, If the end weight is 4.7g, then 4.7/5.0 = 0.94, which means that 0.94 x 100= 94%. Therefore, 100-94 = 6% of the soil sample is composed of organic matter.

What percentage of a radioactive sample remains after 5 half-lives?

After 5 half-lives, 3.125% (or 1/2^5) of a radioactive sample remains. Each half-life reduces the sample by half, so after 5 half-lives, there is only a small fraction of the original sample remaining.
