Loam is soil with an equal number of clay particles and sand particles. It has the best of both soil types: good water drainage and good aeration.
The theme to Lassie was whistled by Fred Lowery, a blind man from Palestine, Texas.
According to Christina Agapakis, figs are not actually fruits, but a mass of inverted flowers and seeds that are pollinated by a species of tiny symbiotic wasps. According to Christie Wilcox, some fig species fight against freeloading wasps that try to use the plant without pollinating it by self-aborting larvae-laden fruit.
The average American household spent $5,477 on gas and auto expenses last year.
