Why Different Soils Feel Different

The video follows Squeaks and a narrator as they address a gardening problem involving a flower that isn't thriving after being moved. They explore the role of soil texture in plant health, explaining how different soil types affect water retention. A hands-on experiment is conducted to analyze soil texture by observing the settling of soil layers in water. The video concludes with an analysis of the soil layers, identifying clay, silt, and sand, and determining that the new soil has more sand, affecting water flow.
