I finally broke down my "IAD 2007 Soil tank"
Frognet.org Gallery :: Untitled :: DSCN1218
It was a Staten Island soil amended with iron oxide and pushed through a screen to make small spheres of soil.
I let the soil completely dry out. After drying out I crumbled it in my hands and it felt very similar to soils in Panama I had done this too. One area of the tank where the soil compressed was underneath the rotting log where the frogs stayed. I am not sure if I may have compacted this myself when I set it up (to make a depression for the frogs) or if it had to do with the frogs or being under a log. The dried soil from there was compacted and broke in flakes and chunks instead of collapsing into lots of smaller aggregates.
