The last kind, dusty land is kind of land that consist of clay land, gravel and and. If we compare among three kinds of land this is the best to cultivated vegetables.

In planting plant we also have to know how much pH that had by land. To know about this we can do it by our self or we also can ask to laboratory worker. It need to be known that pH is consist of 7-14. It can be said as alkali land when the land that has value of pH 14 and it can be said that acid land when the value of pH is among 1-6. After we know how high pH that had by our field we can decide what plant that suitable to be planted.
