6. SOIL TEXTURE
6.0 Definition of soil texture
Texture indicates the relative content of particles of various sizes, such as sand, silt and clay in the soil. Texture influences the ease with which soil can be worked, the amount of water and air it holds, and the rate at which water can enter and move through soil.
To find the texture of a soil sample, first separate the fine earth* , all particles less than 2 mm, from larger particles such as gravel and stones. Fine earth is a mixture of sand, silt and clay. You must be sure to use only fine earth to perform the following field tests.

6.1 Quick field tests to determine soil texture
For fish-pond construction, it is better to have a soil with a high proportion of silt and/or clay which will hold water well. To check quickly on the texture of the soil at different depths, here are two very simple tests you can perform.
Throw-the-ball test
Take a handful of moist soil and squeeze it into a ball;

Throw the ball into the air about 50 cm and then catch it ...

If the ball falls apart, it is poor soil with too much sand;

If the ball sticks together, it is probably good soil with enough clay in it.

Squeeze-the-ball test
Take a handful of soil and wet it, so that it begins to stick together without sticking to your hand;

Squeeze it hard, then open your hand ...

If the soil retains the shape of your hand, there is probably enough clay in it to build a fish pond;

If the soil does not retain the shape of your hand, there is too much sand in it.

6.2 How to find the approximate proportions of sand, silt and clay
This is a simple test which will give you a general idea of the proportions of sand, silt and clay present in the soil.
The bottle test
Put 5 cm of soil in a bottle and fill it with water;

Stir the water and soil well, put the bottle down, and do not touch it for an hour. At the end of an hour, the water will have cleared and you will see that the larger particles have settled;

At the bottom is a layer of sand;
In the middle is a layer of silt;
On the top is a layer of clay. If the water is still not clear, it is because some of the finest clay is still mixed with the water;
On the surface of the water there may be bits of organic matter floating;
Measure the depth of the sand, silt and clay and estimate the approximate proportion of each.

6.3 How to rate soil texture from fine to coarse
Soil texture may be rated from fine to coarse. A fine texture indicates a high proportion of finer particles such as silt and clay. A coarse texture indicates a
