How do you interpret this?

Mozarella loam contains how much silt, sand and clay?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Clay is read horizontally left to right, sand is read diagonally bottom right to top left, and silt is read diagonally top right to bottom left. So, the center of the mozzarella zone would be about 20% clay, 40% sand, and 40% silt.

Follow the lines that match the angles of the numbers.

But which way? I can go to two different ways towards a side

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

On any particular side there are two lines that connect to each number. But you follow the line alighted with the number on that axis towards whatever point inside the triangle.

Go from the axis to the point instead of the point to the axis.

Although, you can still figure out which line is for which axis based off the angle of the number.

For example, the numbers for clay are horizontal and are associated with the horizontal lines.

Ah, okay, the "angle of the number" part helped. It makes sense now.

Mozzarella/loam is ~20-50 sand, ~30-50 silt and ~10-30 clay - pay attention to the angle of the numbers and follow the diagonal lines. The center of the triangle has to be 33/33/33
