SOIL TYPE
Clay: Soils that stick when wet - but very hard when completely dry.
Silt: The same as sand except that it is so fine that you cannot see individual
grains.
Sand: Similar small pieces of stone (usually quartz), which are small but each
grain, is visible to the eye.
Gravel: Small pieces of stone varying from the size of a pea to that of an egg.
Organic Soil: Soil mainly composed of rotting, decomposing organic matters such
as leaves, plants and vegetable matter. It is spongy when wet, usually smells of
decaying matter, is dark in color and usually damp.
