Hi,
My 8th grader needs assistance from an Minnesota resident. He is working on a project to collect soil samples. He needs about 6 cups of soil. Is there anyone willing to send Minnesota soil? We can send a postage paid box so you will not have to pay for shipping.

Many thanks,
Nick

I'd actually be willing to drive into MN to do it, which is just about 10 miles to the east, if you sent the box, but a better sample would probably be from a resident further into the state, perhaps in the wooded lake filled areas of the state north and west of the twin cities. Soil from western MN would be quite a bit different then soil from northern/eastern MN, they are almost 2 different topographies/climates.

As Stockwiz says, soil varies greatly from place to place. Do you want anything specific, like riverbank soil, hillside, farm land, glacial moraine, etc? Do you want a variety of samples, or will any soil do?
