Abstract
AbstractSoil pits are the pedologist's preferred means of examining and sampling soils. On occasion, pedologists, whether for pedagogic or research reasons, many need to re‐examine a pedon from a backfilled pit. This may be difficult especially if a backhoe is used. The backfilled materials and the in‐place soil materials comprising the pit walls can be difficult to separate, and consequently the backhoe could damage the pedon. A simple method of lining a soil pit with a civil engineering fabric prior to backfilling solves this problem. The fabric is nonbiodegradable, permeable to water but not to soil material, and strong. It has also proven to be quite useful for keeping buried equipment clean and allowing for its easy exhumation.
