[Cob] Soil SurveyJanet Standeford j.standeford at hughes.netTue Jul 28 17:03:40 CDT 2009
It's been awhile since I tried to send to everyone so don't know if the one to bounce does the trick. Just in case it didn't here is what I sent. Hi there, I just discovered http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov <blocked::http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/> and was amazed by the amount of already assembled information I found for my property. You have to double click topics on the left then fill in parameters. Hit view report and you can even print or save them from the print page. For instance, I found the following ratio from 3-49 inches Clay 30% Sand 33.5% Silt 36.5%. Now can somebody tell me what that means regarding the making of cob? I understand I must add sand straw and water but how does this much silt fit into the formula? Is it possible to remove silt? Janet Standeford May God The Father, His Son - Our Christ, and The Holy Spirit bless you and keep you and yours safe always. Amen
