Earth

Soil comprising mainly crumbly loam material. Earth forms the substrate in streams with seasonal flow (e.g. winterbournes). Such streams often flow through open fields, and have substrates similar to ‘soil’.

The soil is not predominantly composed of clays (A jab with a ranging pole will leave no distinct hole, or one with ragged or crumbling edges).
