I never would have expected to see a Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't videos posted here. He has a whole series of videos. The language can be a little rough, but the videos are filled with interesting and accurate botanical information.

Indeed, I wasn't sure whether to submit. But given Hacker News' purview of anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity I felt strongly that it fitted in.

Something kind of off the beaten path is way better than a lot of things. It's interesting and informative and isn't trying to make a point in some controversy.

>Specifically, edaphology is the study in how soils influence and interact on/with living things, especially those of plants. It is the study of the ecological relationship soil has with land cultivation practices and plants. //

That's a new word for me.
