Why do clay soils require more lime than sandy soils at the same pH?

NCDA&CS Agronomic Division - Frequently Asked Questions ...
Clay soils are aluminosilicates and contain more potential acidity than sandy soils. As the pH falls below 5.5, aluminum become soluble at levels toxic to plants. In addition, soluble aluminum reacts with water to produce hydrogen ions, further reducing soil pH. Since clay soils generate more acidity than sandy soils, they require more lime to counteract it.

Why do clay and organic soils hold nutrients better than sandy soils?

NCDA&CS Agronomic Division - Frequently Asked Questions ...
Chemically, clay and organic soils have many negative sites that attract and hold positively charged nutrient ions, such as potassium (K+), calcium (Ca++) and magnesium (Mg++). Pure sand alone, on the other hand, has no negative sites. The nutrient-holding capacity of a sandy soil is directly related to the amount of clay and organic matter mixed with and coating the sand.

Where can I find a sandy beach?

Balkanology :: Croatia :: FAQ
If you regard sandy beaches as a crucial element of your summer holiday, Croatia may not be the place for you: most of the coastline consists of pebbles or rocks, and real sand is hard to find. That's not necessarily a bad thing - in fact it is said to be one of the reasons why the Adriatic waters are so clear. That said, there are a few stretches of sand here and there.

Are some soils more sensitive than others to saline and/or sodic water?

Coal Bed Methane Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Irrigation water that is suitable for one soil may not be for another. Use of saline and/or sodic water for irrigation can be risky business on soils predominated by silt or clay. Just 1 acre-foot of moderately saline irrigation water (EC = 3 dS/m - the upper end of suitability for irrigation water) will introduce 1.8 tons of salt to an acre of land. Soluble salts do not leach as readily through fine textured soils as through sandy soils.

How often do I need to compact the fill soils?

Architectural Block, Architectural Masonry Products, Masonry...
Compacting backfill material in 8" to 12" (200mm-300mm) lifts allows you to effectively compact the entire area behind the wall without putting unnecessary pressure on the units. Thick lifts of soil require more compaction effort and create a greater force at the back of the wall which may cause potential alignment and rotation problems. Consult with a geotechnical engineer for further compaction criteria based on specific site soil.

What are expansive soils?

E-Star: Frequently Asked Question
Colorado is a rather unique area of the U.S. in that its geologic composition causes soils to expand. This can make it difficult to build homes in some areas of Colorado. Colorado builders sometimes use special foundations called structural wood sub-floors to counter the effects of expansive soils. However, these structural wood sub-floors can trap water or water vapor and allow mold to grow.

How serious is my condition?

Frequently Asked Questions About Genital Herpes
Genital herpes can be painful, inconvenient, and upsetting, but it's not considered a life-threatening condition. Even so, it may increase your risk of getting HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, because the sores are prime spots for HIV to get into your body. What's more, being infected with HIV and the herpes virus may make both diseases worse. A pregnant woman can pass genital herpes on to her baby, so it's particularly serious during pregnancy.

How do I choose between the Sandy's and the One-size?

Nip Naps - Modern Cloth Nappies in Australia from Mother-eas...
The Sandy's is a sized nappy whereas the one-size is designed to be used from birth through to toilet training. They are both fantastic nappies so it is hard to choose! Generally speaking the one-size is the most economical choice and ideal if you intend to use the nappies on one baby only from birth to toilet training. If you are planning to use the nappies on more than one baby, and you can afford the initial investment, consider a sized system.

SOME BASICS ABOUT ANTIQUE MAPS
Antique maps are paper items and therefore subject to wear and tear similar to any item which was intended to be used. Nearly all of them come from atlases which may have been roughly handled - indeed sea charts may have travelled many times around the world - and inevitably may have marginal tears or repairs to them. There is no standard way of classifying condition the way that coins are, but most dealers will describe any major defects.
