Lex said...: That was cool. I find it sad that the soil even GETS that way, but that is what happens when there is a lot of tar around. I find it really interesting that that the particles are so tiny: 20 nanometers across, when a human hair is 50,000. I hope this will help the tar and oil be sucked out of the ground for good.; January 21, 2009 at 9:19 AM
