I'm going to soil my undies.

[Banana Bar]

In a scientific way obviously. 6 pairs of finest cotton y fronts bought of eBay this morning. How deep do I plant them and when to I dig them up? Guessing some of my soils will let me wear them afterwards!

I read the report I assume you read. Ne interested in your results. His seemed surprisingly extreme.

WTF are you up to?

I'm guessing that a healthy soil would leave little to protect your modesty.

My recipe was 4" for 8 wks.

Think it's something to do with soil temp, but not sure I want to know

Do you have to be wearing them at the time ?

 

[General-Lee]

Its the current trend. Twitter is loaded with people burying their pants for a few weeks then digging them up to see if they have degraded in the soil. If they have the soil is healthly I think and if they haven't then the soil is not healthy or the other way around.

It's a rough indicator of two things,

Firstly, how robust and structurally sound your undercrackers are,

Secondly, how much micro-fauna is habitating within your humus.

Sounds like b0llocks to me. What have you washed the pants in? Bleach? Distilled water? Fabric conditioner?

Aww, my apologies, I'm taking this too seriously. It's a joke right??

Brian Barker, East Anglia HGCA monitor farmer started this and has been sharing his results. Looks like an interesting way of assessing soil biology!
