Re: USDA online soil explorer
??? Well of course the USDA tool is focused on the US and does not include Slovokia ... but did you mean the page doesn't load for you? It is working fine here.

Re: USDA online soil explorer
Maybe the USDA doesn't want you to know about your soil

Re: USDA online soil explorer
Richard , didn't know you were in to reading up on soils. Ever read any of Hans Jenny's stuff? He was the best and I try to think of his way of thinking when gardening or "improving my own garden.

Caliza extremely cobbly fine sandy loam, 2 to 8 percent slopesClicking on that will give you more information in a pop-up window. If you also perform a Google search on "Caliza soil", you'll find this description: Official Series Description - CALIZA Series If you instead click on the "Soil Data Explorer" tab, you can then click on any of the soil use categories and obtain summary information on "suitability" of the soil.

Re: USDA online soil explorer
Was unable to get any maps-errors. Was able to get a soil survey for my area in my state/county. Hope the rest is fixed soon. Thanks.

Re: USDA online soil explorer
I'm using Firefox 3.5.2. The error I get is BAF map service error.
