The following results are from our Water Absorption Lab that you completed yesterday: Using these results explain to me why it matters to you that you understand these results. Why would this be important if you lived on an island where there are no grocery stores?

Clay: Absorbs water, but plants can't use it. The dry packed soil blocks water.

Mulch: Poor absorption so water rushes right through.

Sand: Poor absorption so water goes right through, so plants can't use it.

Potting Soil: Good water absorption; increase with more humus.
