Growing Plants Hydroponically vs. In Soil: The Soil Profile

Questions Why do we need to know what is in the soil? How do we determine what is in the soil?

Particle Sizes

Soil Structure Massive

Soil Texture

Soil Texture Triangle Examples 1. 20% Clay, 10% Sand and 70% Silt? 2. 30% Clay, 60% Sand, and 10% Silt? 3. 55% Clay, 45% Sand?

Identifying Texture by Feel Feel test – Rub some moist soil between your fingers. Sand feels gritty. Silt feels smooth. Clays feel sticky. Ball squeeze test – Squeeze a moistened ball of soil in your hand. Coarse textures (sand or sandy loam) soils break with slight pressure. Sandy loams and silt loams stay together but change shape easily. Fine textured (clayey or clayey loam) soils resist breaking. Ribbon test – Squeeze a moistened ball of soil out between your thumb and fingers. Sandy soils won’t ribbon. Loam, silt, silty clay loam or clay loam soil ribbons less than 1 inch. Sandy clay loam, silty clay loam or clay loam ribbons 1 to 2 inches. Sandy clay, silty clay, or clay soil ribbons more than 2 inches. A soil with as little as 20 percent clay may behave as a heavy clayey soil. A soil needs 45 percent to over 60 percent sand to behave as a sandy soil.
