Soils differ in many ways both in chemical and physical properties.
The easiest way to tell one soil from another is to look at physical properties. Two important properties are color and texture. The charts below can be used to distinguish differ types of soils. This exercise should be done in three different areas that you can visually see the differences in soil color.
