New classes for soil texture categories #392

Open celineaubert opened 7 years ago

celineaubert commented 7 years ago

USDA uses its triangle technique to determine soil texture http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/nrcs142p2_050242.jpg

FAO has 2 techniques to determine soil texture, and these techniques have there own soil texture scale.

Would it be possible to create a new class for each of this soil texture and tag them with the technique they belong to?
