So far, we have dried all of the samples, graded the colours against the Munsell Soil Colour Book, worked out the density of sand cores, used graded sieves to sort the sand particles into size categories, and devised and successfully used a method to look at the capacity to hold water by the samples. The final analysis left to do is to calculate the percentage of organic matter, this will be calculated by analysing weight change followed by combustion of organic matter in a furnace.
