10/5/09 first samples organic content cont..

On Monday 4th May I put the first soil samples back into the incubator after the moisture content tests. I put them in at 60 degrees celcius at 2.30pm and on Thursday at 1.05pm I took them out. The resuts are as follows:

Organic Content

As you can see, sample spot 4 had the most organic content at 4.60% and sample spot 1 had the least organic content at 1.76%. This seems accurate because sample spot 4 was near a lot of trees and shrubs which meant a lot of roots were in the soil whereas sample spot 1 was closer to water and the soil was sort of sandy.
