| USGA Summary Points: | Optimal packing sand mix moisture ranges from 0.05 to 0.07 g g-1. Amount of peat moss to be added to sand mix should not be higher than 0.02 g g-1. Air-filled porosity should be measured at tension of -4 kPa, since the -4 kPa is equivalent to the lower boundary of macropore volume based on the capillary equation. The SIUC permeater can prevent air from reentering the saturated column and provide consistent Ksat values. The 2-layer approach is suggested for loading sample in packing the soil column. In the assessment of packing effort, 15 blows per layer of packing produced the highest bulk density as compared to 10 and 5 blows of packing. The SIUC 2-layer approach was tested by laypersons and was only 10% different from that measured by technicians. |
