We tested the pH and moisture levels of the soil at the site of the Butterfly Garden using soil testers that were lent to us from the council. media type="custom" key="4686079"

__Measuring the pH and moisture levels__



__** Deciding on the type of soil **__ We performed a variety of soil tests to figure out if the soil is clay, loam or sand. ​The first test we did involved soil rubbing and this helped us find out what soil is in the butterfly garden area.



The second test we did involved placing soil in a jar of water. We had to watch the soil over a few days and see how it settled in the water to decide on what soil type it is.
