 These are the underwear I buried in the two-year rotation and so again what I've done is take advantage of the fact that they have that double panel in the front and a single panel in the back so I've put all the back panels up here. These are the three underwear that I planted in this field in May. I left them in there for six weeks and then I dug them up, I kind of shook off all the loose dirt and then I pinned my trophies to this board, two-year corn-soy rotation and you can see in each of these underwear yeah there's some degradation going on. They've been chewed up a bit and this is a no-till plot so there is more enhanced activities in the plot but in nearly all of them the back panel is intact and if you were to clean them up and put them on you could probably keep your butt from showing by what's left in terms of this material here on the back panel. Okay so that's two-year corn-soy. So here are the three that I buried in the four-year corn-pea winter wheat-soy rotation and again they're turned with the back panel to you and I don't think I'd clean these up and try and wear them and cover my backside because there's not much left of that back panel. In fact even the front panel has been degraded in all these except this last one here on the left but the back panel is pretty much gone on all of these. Now it looks like a pretty simple demo but if you're going to do this at home you need to remember a couple things. One is trying to bury more than one because who knows where you buried it. You could have buried it on an ant hill or a badger hole or who knows. Try and bury several of them. The other thing is you got to watch out what brand not all brands are made of the same thickness of cotton. This is fruit of the loom right and not all will have the same thickness some might be more and the other thing you got to look at is they're asymmetrical so in the back panel in the front you got the secret compartment and there's you know kind of two panels there so when you plant them in the ground you kind of want to make sure you're going to plant them with the front panel up or the front panel down but do it the same for all the different ones that you bury and you're going to bury them according to the instructions from NRCS two inches deep and so that's another tricky thing you got to get a shovel and skim off two inches of the soil and put that thing in and maybe leave a little bit of band sticking out but try and get it as flat as possible at two inches to give yourself a chance to see what the effects are of your different management options what we we decided to do is kind of compare a couple of fields of steves that had the same soil type but had some different management practices you could really see the difference in the microbial activity
