Feel how moist the soil is. Peat soil retains water; so it usually feels wet or water-logged.

What is the characteristics of peat soil?

Peat has typical characteristics, which include high natural moisture content, high compressibility and water-holding capacity, low specific gravity, low bearing capacity, and medium-to-low permeability [3]. Hence, characterization and improvement of peat is necessary to construct any type of infrastructure on it.

Which soil has the roughest texture?

Sand, Silt and Clay Larger particles feel rough while smaller particles feel smooth. For soil, we also use texture to help characterize the type.
