Official State Soil: Ruston
April 13th

Dear Nicky & Jess,
It is easy to get fired up about Ruston soils because people are always burning the pine forests that grow on them! Foresters burn the forests on purpose to help regenerate native short leaf pine forests that are home to bobwhites, turkeys, and eastern bluebirds.

Yours truly,
Aunt Maude and Uncle Buster

P.S. Please complete a soil analysis of the vegetable garden so we can be sure it's got the right balance of nutrients.
