I heard from someone quoted Albert Einstein. Einstein said “a great teacher speaks with everyday word that everyone can understand.” I understood everything he said and I’m not an American.
Amazing video. Language is clear, accent professional, speed of language appropriate, explanation is not verbose, spoke to express not to impress. I am a layman but understood the soil science well.
Thank you! I am a first-year teacher and will be teaching soils soon. I have never used the soil triangle but your explanation made it very clear and I'm looking forward to teaching it to my students.
I just moved into my house and gained a garden with cactus and morning glories and tons of nightshade. I'm very curious of what I'm working with before I really got crazy planting stuff. THANK YOU!! I'm too cheap to buy a test soil kit. This seems more of an enjoyable learning experience too! Doing it with my daughter asap. 🌵🏜⚘🌴🌲🌻🌺🌿🍇
Pro Tip: Use a strainer to sift down the soil to remove large debris. Use water with a small amount of dish soap added to help create more distinctive separation between the three layers.
I said to myself ,that triangle thingy is familiar . And then it hit me! This was one of our science modules discussing about soil types . Our teacher did not really explain to us how to use it , instead , the teacher just read the definition of each type of soil which is okay . But now as I was searching for plastic bricks on youtube your video popped out and here I learned more and got excited about soil and gardening than I was in class sitting and reading a paper full of texts and pictures which made me sleepy. Thank you so much for the help . Please make more of these videos as we have a garden here too!
That's what they did during my earth science class in 7th grade and in my Agriculture class in 9th grade. This experiment would have been a better way to teach this concept than making us memorize a chart.
This weekend I'm going to try to cook my own indicator to measure the pH values, and now i discovered this awesome tri-angle. Thank you so much for this video and information! I think it will be very useful for my garden and potted plants.
Your video is very detailed which I appreciated after watching so many others that weren't but I followed the instructions and set my timer for 15 mins when I went to mark the jar I could not see any difference in the soil. I could clearly see grains of sand in your jar but not mine. I moved in this house about 10 years ago and it's in a new neighborhood in a rural area of Ohio, zone 6a. I had to make all my flower beds myself and the dirt was heavy and compacted with lots of rocks, some bigger than the size of a softball. At 2 separate times I have had dump trucks full of dirt delivered to raise the beds a bit, I have sat for hours picking the smaller rocks out of the beds, through the years I have added bags of top soil and potting soil to the beds and then tilled. Several yrs I added mulch around the flowers to try to cut down on weeds.I have flowers in the beds and some do pretty well but the soil does seem to dry out fast, I water just about every night when it doesn't rain but I assumed it was because it gets mostly sun but possibly sandy soil is the issue. I have time on my hands now to devote to gardening and I'm trying to learn more about soil and that is why I wanted to do the test. I also ordered a soil test kit from amazon to test the soils nutrients so that I can try to add whatever it is that may be lacking. I have been reading articles and watching videos about composting but I'm afraid if I start a compost pile I will be inviting snakes into my yard (serious phobia,lol) So if my issue is sandy soil can anyone suggest an easy way to amend? When I couldn't see the difference on the test jar I thought maybe it just needed more time for everything to settle, what do you think? Or is it possible my soil is made up of mostly sand? It has been 3 hrs since I started the test and the soil is mostly the same throughout the jar except for a very fine line at the top that is a lighter color. I thought maybe I would just try it again after digging some more dirt and adding less dirt to the jar and more water, what do u think? Anyone have any suggestions on what I did wrong? Sorry such a long comment but I thought with more info a greater likelihood of a solution. Thanks!
This is just what I need for my science lab. I couldn't figure out hot to find the % from ml but this was quite clear and as a person who loves to garden this experience looks fun and easy. THANK YOU I am so subscribing
I had an assignment for my class to figure out the soil type in my yard. I was really struggling. bu you video very clearly explained the soil triangle . thank you!
Great stuff! You can improve accuracy by filling the jar with enough epoxy to get above the blend radius at the bottom. JB Weld works well if you thin it with alcohol or lacquer thinner. The manufacturer recommends 1 teaspoon thinner to 2 ounces of mixed epoxy for this purpose.
Thank you garden fundamentals. I learn a lot today about different types of soil about regarding the present soil on my garden. God bless. Thanks again. More videos to come. 😍😍
I am going to try this. Would it be okay if I do the same experiment and record a video in my language so my students can understand? I will credit you in my video.
What a great demonstration on soil. I just found your site and I am so glad I did. Your information is in depth and I find it very beneficial. Thanks again garden friend in Wyoming.
Interesting video. A much simplified version of how I did the work. Sieves would help in your process. Incidentally, very fine sand and silt partical sizes overlap.
I’m learning this because I was curious about the biggest cities in the world. Shanghai came up; they talk about the fertile land a lot. So I started looking into soil 😂 here I am
Thank you very much Mr. Palvis, i subbed, and bookmarked your websites. Please, continue demonstrating your experiments, as I found this very enlightening.

Good comment..👍
A layman who uses the word, verbose.

I wish you were teaching soil mechanics and geology at my uni! Natural teacher!

No words could appreciate the value of your teaching!.. I just take a Bow!
Thank you so much. Me being a visual learner really appreciate this video. Big time help.
Thank you so much. I learned an easy way to learn about the soil we have in our property. Very informative.
I'm a Gardener at a National Cemetery so glad I found this channel.

Robert - excellent explanation of the soil triangle.
BEST VIDEO AN EXPLANATION I'VE SEEN ON THIS .
Wow.. the knowledge gained from this video was priceless. Thank you for sharing! Very interesting. I’ll be sure to use this method in my own garden 👍🏻

This would be an awesome experiment for an Agriculture or science class.
This is just what I need for my science lab. I couldn't figure out hot to find the % from ml but this was quite clear and as a person who loves to garden this experience looks fun and easy. THANK YOU I am so subscribing
Exactly what I was looking for. Professional, detailed and precise.
I had an assignment for my class to figure out the soil type in my yard. I was really struggling. bu you video very clearly explained the soil triangle . thank you!
This presentation is really useful, you done it very well. Thanks sir
From the minute it reacts and the time comes it keeps changing and I can see the separation of each land.
A useful knowledge presented by a decent man. Thanks
U have unlocked the secret to soil amending! Thank u
This is the greatest video demonstrating soil types. Very easy to understand. Thank you!
I heard of the bottle method but seeing it done made me understand better. Thank you kindly. I click like and subscribed.
Thank you for your good advice about the soil Sir it's clear and easier to understand God bless you.
I highly appreciate this presentation. Bravo!!!
Chup
Thank you for showing us something that I didn't know was possible.Very interesting and useful.
thank you so much for sharing really easy to follow and very helpful
well done, sir

Thank you very much. This is really helpful
It’s extremly helpful video. Thanks a lot
Thank you. really fun to do this. Our little community garden is silty loam..thank you. Silt: 34.5 % sand, 54% silt, 11.5 % clay
brilliant video. what a great teacher you are!! wish I had someone like you as a teacher when I was in school. thank you.
Well done! Simply simple, and precise!
Really great explanation sir
Great video. Clear and concise. I wish I'd known this Soil Triangle approach years ago. It would have prevented a lot of trial and error.
Have to do this for science class
Thanks for making things clear
From SUDAN with love🌸
Thank you garden fundamentals. I learn a lot today about different types of soil about regarding the present soil on my garden. God bless. Thanks again. More videos to come. 😍😍
This is too much for me to remember all of this but 8 will need to practice for school.
This is best for my term 3🥰🥰🥰
Love this, great explanation ❗
I learned the soil chart use better here than in my college class on soils. ! Thank you
Thankyou sir you just killed my confusion. Bravo
Not everyone can teach. I'm doing a class and she did not explain it as clearly as you do. Thank you
Fantastic video.Thank you.
I will be doing this today. Thank you.
Nice description. Thank you so much
Very useful for my agriculture assignment. Thanks.
This is a very good video. I am a visual learner too - and diagrams make me happy. Thanks. I am now a subscriber.
I am going to try this. Would it be okay if I do the same experiment and record a video in my language so my students can understand? I will credit you in my video.
I have no problem with that.
Extremely helpful vid and your explanation was clear and straightforward. Great stuff, thank you. You have another subscriber
Sir, thank you very much for a great, simple explanation!!!!
What a very helpful video! Thank you!
Thanks for the formula. This is exactly what I needed without realizing it.
Helps so much! Thank you!
very informative because it includes mathematics and statistical analysis
Nice video easy and practical explanation
Cool video, although i think ideally you should use a flat bottomed straight sided jar.
What a great video this is
GOOD SAMPLE TO IDENTIFY SOIL TEXTURE
Very clear presentation. Thank you!
Cool, thank you❣️
Perfect!
Really easy and simple method. May Allah Bless you.
Ur an amazing person 👍 wat an explanation . Grateful to you sir ❤️
Fantastic video. Very clear and easy to understand. Thanks!

What a great demonstration on soil. I just found your site and I am so glad I did. Your information is in depth and I find it very beneficial. Thanks again garden friend in Wyoming.
Such a good video, thank you
Interesting video. A much simplified version of how I did the work. Sieves would help in your process. Incidentally, very fine sand and silt partical sizes overlap.
True - this is an approximate method good enough for gardeners.
This video was informative... good shit.. thumbs up
Thank you..I will try it right away !
Thank you for this extremely easy and informative way to test your soil!
You are a clear concise teacher
Thank you
thank u for the high quality fundamentals 🙏
I’m learning this because I was curious about the biggest cities in the world. Shanghai came up; they talk about the fertile land a lot. So I started looking into soil 😂 here I am
Really well done, thanks for making
Thank you, Well presented, educational presentation.
Wow this is a best vid ever🙂 thank you for ur amazing technique
Glad you liked it!
Great explanation. Will be doing this with my students. Thanks for putting this together.
Thank you very much Mr. Palvis, i subbed, and bookmarked your websites. Please, continue demonstrating your experiments, as I found this very enlightening.
What is the effect of adding apple vinegar to the soil?
almost nothing - acetic acid is quickly digested by microbes.
Thanks
thank you!
You are a great teacher!
Thank you.
Thanks a very clear explanation....❤
excellent sir
the dirt, soil, and grass we sit around is very important and so are the animals who are in it
Amazing explanation ❤Thanks
You're awesome. Thanks!
Nice video. Thanks
Wow wow wow.
Thank YOU so much😍
Superb information. So well explained.
EXCELLENT
