Here are three quick ways to figure out what type of soil you have: clay, silt, sand, or (ideally) loam. It’s important to know what your soil composition is in order to make the right amendments and troubleshoot any growing issues you might have.

Good info but busy looking at your sunglasses wondering why you are hiding during your video
1:36 The neighbours must think you're playing with feces XD
You got the layers wrong – clay is made of the finest particles so it is on top
Thank you for your sharing information.
Our daughter showed us your tik tok and then looked up your YouTube. Thank you for making this video. We need to test our soil before putting in raised beds if we don't have to.
It looked like poop 1:40
Your Jar method test is not as accurate as you think – the jar should be uniform – your one isn't. You've copied this from somewhere else and not done a very good job of it.
looks like standard San Diego dirt i find in everyone's yard . . . but am confused. i know when rubbed wet like that it's gritty, but it does form plopping clumps like that. Sandy and clay? i get so confused with our dirt here; it's loose and dusty on top, then solid (as you demonstrated) underneath so you need a pick-ax to dig down.
the other video with the jar and shaking said the clay would be on the bottom. which is it please????
6 weeks a year we can garden here in michigan
I did this test on my soil, only 1 layer. All clay!
Why is my clay soil not showing……it shows only slit and sandy…can it be pissible???plz
