Soil Test and Type

We did a cabbage pH test to find out whether the soil by the tree was acidic or basic. When we did the test some parts of the soil turned yellow which could be because some tiny parts in the soil, possibly some organic material was very basic.

Off shoots, bark, fallen leaves from Casuarina Glauca and surrounding plants

We discovered that the soil had lots of organic material in it. It has lots of leaves and bark that are bigger then the small particles in it. This soil could be loam as it seems to be a mix of different types of soil like clay and silt.
