SOIL OF MEMPHIS AND CONSTRUCION
● THE NATCHEZ SILT LOAM AS THE
OFFICIAL STATE SOIL OF MEMPHIS
● These soils have natural fertility
and desirable tilth
Building anything on top of such plantation is dangerous because it
consists of moisture. The soil has to be dry and rid of moisture for the
construction of a house or building. Removal of the top part of the soil
allows the moisture to leave the soil and the soil that is dug out is later
restored once the construction has taken place. In the meanwhile it is
stockpiled.
