I’ve done a couple of soil texture tests on the new plot. I was pre-warned about having clay soil and it’s not at all which shows it’s good to test (details in the alt text).

One bed is a silt loam and a sandy loam in another so I already know this is where next year’s carrots are going.

I’ll do one more test of the most recently cleared bed where the previous plot holder had their greenhouse. I’m expecting that to be a loam, it’s wonderfully friable.
