organic soil definition
organic soil means any soil containing at least 30% organic matter by weight and includes most of the soils commonly known as peat, muck or bog soils.
organic soil means a soil composed primarily of decomposed or partly decomposed plant and animal materials. As such it contains more than 30% organic matter by dry weight. The total depth of the organic material must exceed 40 centimeters (16 inches) if the soil is moderately to well decomposed (mesic or humic), or 60 centimeters (24 inches) if the material is poorly decomposed (fabric).
organic soil means soil high in organic content, usually dark (brown or black) in color. When considerable fibrous material is the principal, constituent, it is generally classified as “peat.” Plant remains or woody structures may be recognized and the soil usually has a distinct odor. Organic soil may exhibit little (or a trace of) plasticity.
