Know Your Soils

These three 'Know Your Soils' booklets were developed by the former Department of Natural Resources and Environment in 2001 to provide an easy and informative way for landholders to understand and assess their soil. The three booklets are inter-linked and designed to be used together to achieve an understanding of the way that soil behaves and how it should be managed.
