Re: Determining soil type by hand

[Tim Hess <t.hess@cranfield.ac.uk>]

We have a handout that we use for our teaching, describing the method for 
soil textural determination by hand. This was adapted from a UK Ministry of 
Agric. Fisheries & Food document to conform to the USDA textural classes.

I have placed SOILTEXT.DOC as a MS-Word6 document on our ftp site;
	ftp.silsoe.cranfield.ac.uk\pub
for anyone who is interested.
