Physical properties of soil are divided into texture and structure. Soil texture is a physical measurement of the percentage of sand, silt, and clay particles in a soil (as determined by grain size, with sandy soils being the largest and clay the smallest). It is a given, and cannot be altered (see more in Unit 2.1, Soil Physical Properties). Sandy soils usually feature low nutrient- and water-holding capacity and an associated lower organic matter content. On the plus side, sandy soils drain well, warm quickly, and allow early cultivation and planting in the spring. Clay soils are the opposite: they…

The term “biota” is used throughout this text in lieu of “flora” as a general reference to bacteria. Flora refers to plant life. “Bacterial flora” dates back to the time when it was believed that bacteria were primitive plants. Since bacteria are not plants, “bacterial biota or microbiota” is preferred to flora. The major genera of bacteria, yeasts, and molds that are found in these products before spoilage are listed in Tables 4–1 and 4–2. In general, the biota is reflective of the slaughtering and processing environments as noted above, with Gram-negative bacteria being predominant. Among Gram-positives, the enterococci are…
The Egyptians used a surprisingly large number of makeup and skin care products. Rouge colored their lips and cheeks, while dyes and paints hued their body and facial skin. There is enough evidence to show that the Egyptians even colored their hair. Perhaps best known of all is their extravagant use of kohl to accentuate the eyes. This dark colored powder was made with many different naturally occurring substances that gave different hues and different textures. Some of these are crushed antimony, lead, copper, burnt almonds, ash, malachite, copper ore, ochre and many others. Both the upper and lower lids…

Cultivation is a purposefully broader concept than simply digging or tilling the soil—cultivation involves an array of tools, materials and methods that, when properly combined, promote and maintain optimum soil health and good tilth, a composite term for the overall physical characteristics of a soil (texture, structure, permeability, consistency, drainage, and water-holding capacity). In short, tilth equals the workability of a soil in relationship to its ability to grow plants. This unit introduces students to the tools, techniques, and rationale behind traditional French-intensive organic gardening and mechanized, field-scale soil cultivation. Beginning with the concepts of soil cultivation and tillage, students…
