Field 1
Surface:
.... has a slightly smooth or
velvety feel when moist.
Squeezed when dry, it forms a mold that will bear careful
handling.
The mold formed by squeezing when moist can be handled freely,
without breaking.
When the moistened soil is squeezed out between thumb and
forefinger, it will form a poor ribbon with a dull surface.
|
Subsurface:
.... usually breaks into clods
or lumps when dry.
When the moist soil is squeezed out between thumb and
forefinger, it crushes with some effort.
It will form a short (1 inch to 2 inch) well-formed ribbon with
a shiny surface which will tend to break or the ribbon will bend
downward. The sandy clay loam texture has a slightly gritty feel
when moist |

Subsurface:
.... forms very hard, massive
lumps or clods when dry and is quite plastic and sticky when
wet. When the moist soil is squeezed out between thumb and
forefinger it crushes with considerable effort and will form a
long
(2 inch+) ribbon which will support itself. The sandy clay
texture also has a slightly gritty feel when moist.
