1 point Using the flow chart, determine the soil category of a sample with the following characteristics: Determining Soil Texture by Feel Step 1: is there Clay in the Sample? a) Obtain and moisten a soil sample and place some sols (the size of a marble) in your hand) b) Moisten the soil sample untilit is damp but not sosked through with water c) Try to form a ball. If the soil forms a ball go to step 2 . If the soil does not form a ball go to Step 5. Step 2: How Much Clay? a) Classify as clay and go to Step 3 if the soil is: a. Forms a long thread $(5+\mathrm{cm})$ b. Really.sticky c. Hard to squeeze Step 3: How Much Sand and Silt? Wet a small pinch of soil in your gloved palm and rub it with your forefinger. a) If the soil feels gritty, add the wordy'sand $\mathrm{C}$ in b) Classify it as a clay loam and go to Step 3 if the soll is: a. Forms a medium thread $(2?5\mathrm{cm})$ b. Somewhat sticky c. Is somewhat hard to squeeze c) Iry to form a Dail, it the soll forms a bali go to step 2 . it the soil goes not form a bail go to Step 5. Step 3: How Much Sand and Silt? Step 5: Test for Sand If the soil does not form a ball and instead falls apart in your hand - The soll texture is sand. c. Hard to squeeze b) Classify it as a clay loam and go to Step 3 if the soil is: a. Forms a medlum thread $(2?5\mathrm{cm})$ b. Somewhat sticky c. Is somewhat hard to squeeze a) If the soil feels gritty, add the wordy 'sandy' in front of the initial classification b) If the soll feels very smooth with no gritty feeling; add the word 'silty in front of the initial classification c) If the soil is a little gritty (neither) leave the originalclassification Step 4: Testing for Loamy Sand or Silt If the soll: forms a ball, forms no ribbon, and is very gritty, the soll texture is loamy sand If the soil: forms a ball, forms no ribbon, and is not gritty feeling, the soll texture is keamy silt d) If the soil forms a ball but does not form a thread, go to step 4.
