Here is Clemson with the jar test and a soil type chart thingy

I haven't seen the jar test online before. I got the silt and clay layers mixed up and didn't know about the dishsoap. I never let it sit for 2 or 3 days either. I think I'll go check my dirt.

In one picture, actually - hang on there is this other one..

Ok, with two pictures, the clay sedimentary layer shown even over some leaf fall is obvious, and the ph reading, which I can only seem to read accurately with these soil ph meter sticks in moist, post rain soil, is shown. I am picking up 60 bags of pelletized limestone tomorrow, and hope to bring it up a point by spring. If I overshoot a little, its still ok. We average 56 or so inches of rain around here, and we have passed that already this year.
