Previously I’ve discussed how to combat particularly difficult cohesive soil conditions where tight reactive clay doesn’t break apart into a good slurry or adding water to it can make the bore hole swell up and constrict the drill string.

Non-cohesive or granular soils aren’t as apt to stick together. This is because the grains are larger. When combined with water the surface tension of any soil increases. Meaning it [...]
