  • How To Test Soil For Clay | Sand Content
    We previously released a jar test video that I believe was giving us inaccurate results about our soil content. The previous method may work for some, but I've found another method that I wanted to share. I believe this gave us a more accurate accounting as to the clay content of the soil. Check it out and let us know what you think, or do you have another method of doing the test? Please leave any questions or comments below. Thanks for watching.

    An answer to one of questions
    Starting an earth bag build soon and so much to learn
    Take care my friend

    Do you have to use dr.bronners soap or can you use a regular dish soap like original dawn? These older videos are solid gold and provide a ton of awesome info for someone embarking on an earthbag build

      Green Dream Project Right! We are on our way now. Hope it didn’t float away. Lol

    What about silt?

    • @ourselfreliantlife
      @ourselfreliantlife  Před 6 lety

      That's a good question. We've done quite a few jar tests now and I do see a silt layer on top, but it's not very much.

      Green Dream Project, sand on bottom, silt in middle, clay on top.

      Yup, that's how it should lay out.
