What kind of soil is in front of your doorstep? Grab a shovel and do the so-called finger test: How does the soil feel? Can you shape it in your hands? You can compare your observations with the Kniffelix worksheet.
Task:How did your soil sample feel? Could you roll the soil together? Did you have sand, loam, or clay between your fingers? Report on your soil test in the Community.
