The protestes are not all done yet, some farmers Union are against this government's decision and are still fighting for better revenues among other things.

Long story short - I moved from a country where there’s an abundance of black soil to a country with a dry climate and not much black soil. Not only that, I moved from an apartment to a house with plenty of land. I believe strongly that growing my own produce is the way to go, but sadly I lack a lot of skill.

What I want to do is to plant a few plants, bushes and trees to get started with gardening, but I’m not sure whether the types that I want to plant will take well to the soil.

So the first logical step in my mind is to figure out what kind of a soil I’ve got and what it’s well suited for and can I make it work for some things that it might not be ideal for.

That’s why I was super hyped when I found this community, but it looks like people here are mostly posting articles and the discussions are more on the specialist/scientific side, so I hope my question doesn’t stick out as unwanted.

This topic is pretty hotly debated. One of the issues is that time is a huge factor in getting meaningful data, at least in a mining sphere, where stockpile are huge and soil is stored for a long time.

I realize this doesn't really touched on climate change but it shows how difficult do an increase in soil organic matter can be
