- Parent material: Silty and clayey residuum weathered from shale
Typical profile
- A - 0 to 10 inches: silt loam
- BA - 10 to 16 inches: silty clay loam
- Bt1 - 16 to 22 inches: silty clay

- Depth to restrictive feature: More than 80 inches
- Drainage class: Somewhat poorly drained
- Capacity of the most limiting layer to transmit water (Ksat): Moderately low to moderately high (0.06 to 0.20 in/hr)
- Depth to water table: About 12 to 24 inches
- Frequency of flooding: None
- Frequency of ponding: None
- Maximum salinity: Nonsaline to very slightly saline (0.0 to 2.0 mmhos/cm)

Few questions for the community, please.
- What soil type would you pick? Silty Clay? (Bermuda Grass)
- What option would you select for the slope?
- I have a 25ft raised garden vegetable bed with a water drip, is there a particular way to set that up? (i.e. soil type, etc) Learn More
Thank you for your awesome help!

Personally, I would likely pick based upon what you wrote:
- Silty clay: I would try digging to see about verifying, maybe even a mason jar test
- <=3% = flat; <=6% = slight; <=12% = moderate; otherwise = steep. See Smart Cycle and manual cycle and soak features for that information. I would verify with a level app on the phone that uses the camera and a line to look at various parts of the yard
- I have not got to that point yet.
