uncompacted
Still spread out
Uncompacted describes something that hasn't been pressed or packed together, remaining loose or unconsolidated.
Soil that is uncompacted has air pockets and drains well: The uncompacted earth was easy to dig.
The term appears in technical contexts—construction, geology, waste management—where density and compression matter.
