Definition
noun
The mineral components that determine soil texture and influence water retention, drainage, and root growth.
Interpretation
The soil’s elemental personality. Clay holds. Sand drains. Silt blends. In permaculture, we don’t judge — we learn the language of texture and design accordingly.
Living Invitation
Test your soil texture with a jar test or finger roll. Listen to what it’s telling you about water, roots, and rhythm.
