Soil consistancy

Based on the tests that we did as a class on the soil from our site area, we found that the soil has a large ammount clay content. The water percolation test showed that hardly any water drained through the soil. And when we separated the dry soil we found that there wern't too many rocks and there was very little sand. The test we did with the mud showed that it is very pliable and sticky therefor making it able to hold water well.
