Always had a bit of a thing for geology. Still got boxes of British rocks and fossils.
Writing about the different soils is yes something I could look into.
Around here it is just red, high iron content and then in swampy areas black, high organic content.
Am told that the black soil is the stuff for potatoes.

Maybe sometime you can add a post about the different soil types found in Paraguay, red, brown, white. For example, in my region it’s all red soil. They say potatoes are one of the few things that can’t grow here.

The other day, I took my car to a lavadero and he asked if I was from San Pedro de Paraná which is a small town. I said no, but I had just driven through there and asked how he knew. He said that the white dust on my car could only come from there or the Chaco.
