How do you learn about soil?

[derickonfire]

I suppose what little I do know I've just learned as needed. If I am working on a particular project, say - growing tomatoes, I will google "best soil for tomatoes" and I kind of go off on a tangent from there. I guess it works for me.

In my experience once you learn the basics, it's just about learning what kind of nutrients different types of plants require to really thrive.

Is there something in particular you're working on ?
