This will be my template for this round of soil sample processing.

A few notes:

- We forgot to pack the scale, so ours is being sent.  In the meantime, I've borrowed one (generously loaned by John H) with a resolution of 1g.  When our scale arrives, I'll make a few parallel measurements to compare the two scales.

- We couldn't find any good foil cups at the store today to bake the dirt in, so I've made some by bending aluminum foil.  Obviously, they won't tare as consistently as store-bought.

- The coring tool was set up with two 3cm rings on the top (used) followed by two 1cm rings on the bottom (ignored).  Thus, each 3cm sample volume was 3*pi*(5.2/2)^2=22.4cm^3 [check].
