Whether it’s on a vast prairie, in the mountains, or in your yard, soil is valuable stuff.  Everything that supports terrestrial life ultimately comes from soil.  Did you know there are many different types of soil?  Just like species of living things, soil actually has several different classifications.  Understanding the different classifications of soil is useful if you want to grow a vegetable garden or have a patch of land to support native plants on your property.

There is a simple test you can do to test what makes up your soil, and it involves shaking a sample of soil and water in a jar!  You will be given a picture of the soil texture pyramid to help you identify what type of soil you have just by looking at layers in your jar.
