Interested in joining the experiment? Simply bury two pairs of cotton undies - like in your backyard, the woods, a meadow, or a field. After a month, unearth the first set of undies, and another month later, extract the remaining pair. By observing the alterations, you can draw conclusions about the quality of the soil.

Germany adopts Swiss soil study!
"Underpants as evidence" - volunteers in Switzerland initiated this campaign in 2001 to examine the life in soil. Now, this initiative serves as foundation for a hands-on project in Westerwald.
Steps to Bury Undies for Soil Test
- Create a 30-centimetre deep hole in the ground, such as in a vegetable patch, forest floor, or field. The hole should be spacious enough to fit two pairs of underpants side-by-side.
- Lay both pairs of undies side-by-side in the hole and fill it back in. Ensure the waistbands are visible. Slot a wooden stick in between the undies as a marker.
- After a month, remove one of the two pairs of undies. Another month later, extract the remaining pair. To record your findings, snap a picture of each pair and email them to the soil lab at Hachenburg Forest Education Center ([email protected]).
