Soil / loading rate
Type 1-2 gravel / coarse sand (highest loading) · Type 3 medium / loamy sand Type 4 sandy loam / loam · Type 5 silt loam / glacial till (default) Type 6-7 clay loam / clay (lowest loading; Type 7 unsuitable). Finer soil = lower Table VIII loading rate = bigger field. Watch for glacial till / hardpan, bedrock, and seasonal high groundwater.
