    This document provides information on soil resistivity and its relationship to different soil types. Sandy clay and peat/cultivated soils have resistivities between 40-300 ohms/meter and 50-250 ohms/meter respectively. Dry earth and sand have higher resistivities, ranging from 1000-3000 ohms/meter. Imported soils should ideally have a resistivity between 300-500 ohms/meter.
