When calculating the percentage of organic material in soil is it worked out
by volume or weight. The normal method of buying mixed loam is by volume, so
many meters (yards) of this and so many of that. How would one convert from
volume to weight? Would you measure the density and convert it?
After the soil has been used for a few seasons the percentages will change,
how would one determine the percentages then and how dou you account for the
water?
I guess one method is to mix a sample in a bottle and see how the various
components settle out - but I don't expect the organics to settle out that
well.
