Knowing the soil variants

• Our earth is the combination of many types
  of soil. The upper most layer of crust is the
  formation of various types of soil which is the
  support strength of our entire planets greenery.
  
• Before you start digging your garden out of
  curiosity, read the following types of soil and
  their major characteristics.
• 1. Sandy soil, the Dry one as the name
  suggests, sandy soil is particularly grainy and
  does not hold much water. Vegetation in sandy
  soil is almost impossible because of lack of
  nutrients.

• Silty, the Moist One silty soil is basically
  quite opposite to sandy soil due to its texture.
  Water retention quality is good, but nutrients
  cannot be held by this soil. So very few types of
  vegetation can be grown through this soil.
• Clay, the Sticky One the particles of this type
  of soil are the smallest and it becomes smooth
  and sticky once it gets in touch with water.
  Vegetation growth is rapid in this type of soil
  due to its water retention capacity and power to
  nourish the plants.
• Peat, the Ancient One it formed thousands of
  years ago due to formation of organic matter
  into soil, after the glaciers melt and drowned
  the vegetation of a concentrated spot. The water
  retention capacity is high and hence becomes a
  good means of growth for plants.

5. Loam, the Perfect One Loam is the
mixture of clay, silt and sand. All the best
qualities of these soils are combined into one.
Gardeners love working with this type of soil due
to its nourishing and water retention capacity.

• Soil testing is a method which helps us
  understand the properties of a soil.
• The formation from weathered rocks, type of rocks
  it formed from, water retention capacity and
  nutrient content are basically studied in Soil
  testing Labs.

• The speedy rate of data collection makes
  thus type of test very popular over other tests.
• It is accurate and can be relied on
  which you can reflect on the site which will give
  you several advantages of observation.
• Dynamic Cone Penetro meter (DCP) this type of
  soil testing helps detecting several soil
  properties.
• The weight is lifted and drops in the soil
  which will measure number of mm per hit.
• This type of Soil Testing in Chennai is
  not as competent as the Cone Penetration Test,
  but it can surely be valued as a standard testing
  method.

• 3. Standard Penetration Testing (SPT) a
  comparatively simpler alternative to other soil
  testing methods.
• This is a cost effective and heavily used method.
  
• Fine grained sand particles and silts can
  measured easily with this method due their dry,
  coarse texture, but it does not work so
  effectively when it comes to clay or loam, which
  has moisture retaining capacity.
• Soil testing is an advantageous activity if you
  want to know about various soil properties and
  their other qualities. Every testing method has a
  pro and a con, which you can use to your own
  discretion.
