I did the soil test found at Clemson University. I followed the timing for measuring the different components. I marked the sand level at one minute and again after 2 hours what I thought was Silt was marked. It measured high at first but then after 24 hours it settled a bit.
I was confused because there was no clay.
But wait! I live in North Alabama and the load of soil I bought was dark red.
I realize there is no measurable silt and the soil looks to be 50% sand and 50% clay. No noticeable silt. I expect this is from one of the lower levels where the soil is dug.
I will use most of this to build a earthbag wall around my blueberry contatiners.

Bluebery containers need to be protected from sun and cold.
Other people may reject you but if you lie in the forest floor for long enough the moss and fungi will accept you as one of their own!
No, tomorrow we rule the world! With this tiny ad:
