How do you read the soil chart? What is the composition of loam? 50% sand, 20% clay, 80% silt? 150% baloney

    nah. loam is, for example, 40% sand, 20% clay, 40% silt and it's close to middle of that polygon, on top of letter O

    for example, draw a line from 50% sand point on edge to 50% clay point on edge, the first one is 50% sand 50% silt because that axis for sand is also 0% for clay, the second one is 50% sand 50% clay because it lies at the line that is 0% silt
