So I did the touch test from the website above on the dirt from the 
little valley/dip in the land and it made a four inch strong ribbon and 
in the pinch test it was sandy clay.

I can't wait to do the shake test. I don't think I have a jar of all 
things so must wait until tomorrow.

Maybe I won't have to haul or buy any kind of soil after all!
