[quote=Anonymous]Add to the above and other fun one with kids is the mason jar test: 1. Dig up a sample of soil from the area where you are planting -- get samples from different spots in the bed and mix them together. 2. Put a cup of soil in a jar and add water to almost the top. 3. Shake it up well. 4. Let is sit for several hours until the water is at the top and clear again. 5. Observe. The soil will have separated into layers of clay, silt and sand (top to bottom). You can measure them relative to each other and get your general percentages. https://preparednessmama.com/jar-soil-test/ [/quote]
