Growing Environment

• Soil Texture: Loamy Soil

  Balanced mix of sand, silt, and clay, well-draining but retains moisture, highly fertile.

• pH Range: 6.6 - 7.3

  Optimal for a wide range of plants, nutrient availability is high.

• Organic Matter: Moderate (2% - 4%)

  Adequate organic matter levels, common in well-managed agricultural soils.
  

• Salinity Level: 4 - 8 (Moderately Saline)

  Salinity begins to affect many common crops, reducing their growth and yield.
  Impact: Moderate stress on crops like corn, wheat, and lettuce; salt-tolerant plants like barley may still thrive.

• Hardiness Zone: 13A (Min: 60°F, Max: 65°F)
• Humidity: High

  Humid conditions, often found in tropical climates.
  Impact: Can lead to excessive moisture, promoting diseases like mildew and root rot; may benefit certain moisture-loving plants.

• Water Requirement: N/A - N/A inches per week
