Soil Profile Description

Horizon	Depth (cm)	Description	
A1	0-20	Black (10YR 2/1 moist) humic heavy sandy loam; firm dry consistence; pedal, weak, 20-50 mm, subangular blocky structure; 6% angular siliceous quartz fine gravel sized coarse fragments; moderately rapid permeability, non-dispersing, non-slaking; pH 5.6 (1:5 water); EC 0 (mS/m (1:5)); clear, smooth boundary.	
A3	20-30	Very dark greyish brown (10YR 3/2 moist) sandy clay loam; very firm dry consistence; pedal, weak, 20-50 mm, subangular blocky structure; 6% angular siliceous quartz fine gravel sized coarse fragments; moderate permeability, rapid dispersion, rapid slaking; pH 6.4 (1:5 water); EC 0 (mS/m (1:5)); clear, smooth boundary.	
B2	30-50	Greyish brown (2.5Y 5/2 moist) light clay; very firm dry consistence; pedal, weak, 200-500 mm, subangular blocky structure; 5% angular siliceous quartz fine gravel sized coarse fragments and  1% ferruginous ironstone fine gravel sized coarse fragments; moderate permeability, slow dispersion, rapid slaking; pH 6.7 (1:5 water); EC 0 (mS/m (1:5)); notes: Granite structure apparent---breaks to fine subangular structure; clear, wavy boundary.	
Cr	50-70	Pedal, weak, 200-500 mm, subangular blocky structure; notes: Weathered granite.
