Hello All,
I would like to complete a a real life soil texture triangle (made of wood with space for each sample) but I haven't found anywhere to obtain the samples besides just finding them myself. Anyone know of an entity or business that might have all the soil texture samples for sale?
Thanks
I have used this site from South Dakota. They have structure and texture kits.
Hey Cody,
I love this idea! What dimension is your triangle going to be? Are you making one bigger triangle or smaller group-sized? Sounds like a cool edition to any classroom.

Hey Alan,
I hope to have some plans and specifics to share soon! I hope to make a big triangle but small triangles might be great for group work.
I bought a set of these several years ago through Nasco. The samples are extremely small but this may be a good start for you.
The folks at the University of Idaho (Plant and Soil Sciences Department) gave me this as another resource for commercially available samples. USDA Calibrated Soil Kit
Check your NRCS office? State University? I have an Idaho Soil Kit from Anita Falen at University of Idaho.
