The soil is a very important part of our plannets environment. For many years I have studied and worked with soils in several jobs. The environmental significance of soils is always a major issue in my studies of soils.
This blog is prepared by an interested volunteer, giving information on soils and the environment. Many school children have used this blog to help them do their projects. The information will also be of help especially to backyard gardners.
Water cycle in urban gardens, soil organic matter, carbon cycle and greenhouse issues are the main topics disscused on this blog.

What is “Creekcare” about?
Scientific and environmental information on soils and water needed to maintain sustainable cities.
Water cycle, catchments, creeks, wetlands all interact with soils. Encouraging water absorption by soils, soil organic matter, soil structure and transpiration will help to reduce flood damage and water pollution.
Global warming is the major threat to the worlds environment and carbon sinks created in soils and wetlands will reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Soils are disappearing in cities and we need to nurture the remaining soils to help create a sustainable ecology.
Great blogsite Ted.
