Soil Processing
Stage 1
- Break up soil
- Filter large media
- Filter small media
Both the large and small filters will be the spinning cage type.
Clay
The soil can then be mixed with water and allowed to settle. Using a siphon only the clay rich water can be extracted. The mixing container will be relatively small but a larger settling pool can be used to collect the clay. The settling pool will be long and narrow. After it has been left to settle for a few days, a scoop can be run along the bottom to collect the clay. The same water can be used repeatedly in the mixer.
