Please help me identify soil type
« on: March 16, 2018, 01:41:22 AM »
With recent rain, i started to dig out some dirt in my garden for a retaining wall.  The rain soften the soil but i cannot identify soil type.  It is not clay because it is very hard and sandy but it is not sand like the beach sand where everything turn into grains.
