    Go ahead!

    If you are going to, post it on a Canadian instance, use the Canadian texture triangle

    You can also post this pdf for a lot more information on how soil scientists (like myself) classify soils in Canada. The US has its own system, but a lot of the principles translate somewhat well (e.g., things they look at, like structure).

    Finally, you can find more dirt-nerdery over at !soilscience@slrpnk.net

    Done! Thank you. I tagged you but not sure if it pings you. People have some questions there I can't answer and your community link doesn't appear to work?

    the link is !soilscience@slrpnk.net I'm unable to comment on the shit just works community for some reason.

    some info:

    the equilateral triangle (US) one is confusing as fuck, if you're uninformed. Basically, start with two lines, and see where they take you (e.g., 30% clay, 40% sand). The third line tells you what the remaining percentage of the 3rd textural size is (e.g., in this case, silt).

    In the Right angle Triangle (Canadian one) sand and clay to derive your texture. silt is implied (e.g., solve for 'x').

    gravel gets counted later, and classified as coarse fragments.

    It's probably because the link takes you to the sh.itjust.works page where you're not signed in instead of opening from your local instance. Apps manage that well and there's userscripts if you're on desktop. What happens if you navigate to !coolguides@lemmy.ca manually?
