Heiden component makes up 90% of map unit. Slopes are 8-20%. The component is on hills and uplands. The parent material consists of calcareous residuum weathered from clayey shale. Depth to root restrictive layer is greater than 60 inches. Natural drainage class is well drained. Water movement in the most restrictive layer is low. Available water to a depth of 60inches ( or restricted depth) is moderate. Shrink swell potential is very high. Soil is not flooded. Not ponded. There is no zone of water saturation within a depth of 72 inches. Organic matter in surface horizon is 3%. This component R085XY002OK clay upland 38-42 Plz ecological site. This soil does not meet hydric criteria. Calcium carbonate = within 40in typically does not exceed 30%. No saline horizons. Maximum sodium absorption ratio 1 within 30 inches of soil surface...

This area is in a bowl with steep banks all around it. There is a dry channel that runs through that looks like runs thru bedrock... what do u guys think???

Having read that info on two different threads, I'm afraid it looks as much like Greek to most of us as it does to me. But I will bravely demonstrate my ignorance so that my betters can show me up.

The "dry channel that runs through bedrock" is going to take some packing off with good clay - perhaps even keying a clay core into the bedrock as Michael Grey has described in an issue or two of PBMag.

Thanks for the reply!!

That is ridiculously technical

You’re right Dave andTheo obviously not Texan....
