| Abstract/Contents: | Briefly discusses the potential importance of improving the availability of soil nutrients. States that "researchers with USDA's [United States Department of Agriculture's] Agricultural Research Service (ARS)...are developing constructed or replacement subsoils and topsoils to build better and less costly sports fields, raingardens, and lawns." Mentions that the constructed soil research project "is in its fourth year [as of 2010]." Reports that "the most promising mixture so far includes quarry byproducts and composted chicken litter." |
