Dr. Earth FertilizerFrequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the soil texture triangle calculator?
Our calculator uses the USDA soil texture classification system, which is the standard method used by soil scientists. The results are highly accurate when you input correct percentages of sand, silt, and clay.
What’s the best way to determine my soil composition?
For most accurate results, consider getting a professional soil test. Alternatively, you can perform a simple jar test at home by mixing soil with water in a clear jar, shaking it, and letting it settle to see the layers of sand, silt, and clay.
How can I improve my soil texture?
Depending on your soil type, you can add organic matter (compost), sand (for clay soils), or clay (for sandy soils) to improve texture. The calculator will suggest amendments based on your specific soil type.
