Q. What type of soil is it and how do you know?

A. It is humus because it's soft and a little moist. It's chunky and squishy. My soil is close to the bog and the pond. There are a lot of roots and It's easy to break up. It is very dirty and there are sticks.

O. I saw one worm and some other bugs in the soil. I saw a lot of ants and a big beetle.  I found just a tiny  bit of clay.

Q.What kind of soil is this?

O. There is a open spot in the garden. The soil is sand because it is rough, does not roll into a ball and does not make a smear. Next to the pond is clay because it is an orangie color, rolls into a ball, is really moist, and makes a good smear. Near the compost area it is humus because it is moist,does not roll into a ball, and makes a very small smear. In all of the areas expet the open spot has a tiny bit of sand. Ashley

What do you see? What kind of soil is it?  How do you know?

It felt hard so I thought it was clay. It also had a few dead tree stuff in it. This made me think it had humus in it.  Benjamin
