Question

Sorry to be posting in the math forum >.>

I'm not sure what kind of soil I should go with, Scott is a farmer hoping to raise a large corn crop. To do this, he needs soils rich in organic material. Unfortunately, his soils are a silty clay loam. Using the following soil triangle, propose a detailed plan for how Scott could improve his soil quality.

Answer 1

Soil texture triangle. Silty clay loam soil is approximately 20 percent or less sand, 25 to 40 percent clay, and 40 to 70 percent silt.

Answer 2

I'm a gardener and I can't answer the question from this soil triangle, I would mulch heavily with organics in the fall for a spring crop.

Answer 3

Answer 4
