I woke up one morning only to discover I've developed interest in a soil that is as good as nothing for one of my Civil Engineering friends who talked about it the day before.
Black Cotton Soil as the name implies is a dark soil used in growing cotton. It is majorly found in the Northern part of Nigeria. The geotechnical properties of this soil are so poor, that Civil engineers don't wish to come across it.
I have decided to carry out a brief research on this soil (I don't think anything is useless) ,but the major problem am facing so far is it's availability.
Please at what exact location can black cotton soil be found in Nigeria? OR
Who is a dealer of black cotton soil?

Hello sir, am about to embark on a research (soil stabilization), and i intend using black cotton soil, i want to know if you were able to get the black cotton soil, and where? Can it be gotten in Kwara state? Thanks.
