Thanks Paul, for the great video demonstrating alkalinity and pH of soils. Looking forward to your next video: polygonal-patterned playa sediments. Like you stated, not all cracks are 120 degrees, so not all of them are hexagonal. Pioneers followed Nevada's Humboldt River down to the Carson Sink (where it dead-ends). Pioneers then followed the Quinn River and discovered that it dead-ends at the Black Rock Desert. Many other rivers in Nevada never make it to the ocean.
As a soil scientist and fellow Burner, this is a dream come true for me!! Great video. Something we all wonder about at the end of the day as we apply lotion to our cracked and caked up feet. :)
You're nails are even awesomer. Seriously, this is great! Love your video blog style and of course the info. Playa dust is fascinating and I appreciate this next step into the mystery ... "Hexagons of Sediment!"
Geez., could you please say whether the playa was acidic or not. You said the SF soil was slightly acidic, but you only said the playa turned the test blue, and also that it went beyond 8.5, whatever that means to a non-scientist. .
Absolutely fantastic!
Never trust a old guy with red nails who goes to burning man and tests the dirt looking for Acid!
Haha

I've seen several plants growing deep playa "coyote dunes for example. FYI. Nice video.
This is good. I'd also like to know why playa dust is so hard to clean off of things, harder than normal dust (whatever normal dust is...).
11 years later just watched this video trying to figure that out. Sad there are no answers, and then discovered that Paul had passed.
Interesting
Go Pati-o !!!!
Can’t get past the red nails and pentagram in the desert dirt.
.... in the electrical Universe.
"plants LOVE" co2 too!

8.5 means basic, the opposite of acidic. Look up ph scale, it’s 0-14, and water is a 7
I love that his fingernails are painted red!
love the red fingernails!
WHAT are you doing w/ sparkly, RED nails???
It is SO distracting that you lose all credibility!
UGH!
