What kind of plant lives on loam soil?

Question

i have a project please help me

Answer 1

Loam is the favorite of most all plants that prefer soil.  Every plant you can think of except for water plants, air plants and the parasitic types can live in loam soil.

Answer 2

My entire dairy farm is loam soil here in northwest Wisconsin.

In zone 3, so whatever goes well in that zone.  

Alfalfa, corn, soybeans, oats, winter wheat, timothy, orchard grass, canary grass, sorgum grass, etc.

trees, red oak, pin oak, ash, locust,maple (soft & hard), walnut, butternut, apple, plum, pear, cherry, colorado blue spruce, white pine, norway spruce, birch, boxelder, etc.

Azalia's & blueberry need soil adjustment to acidic.

Wild berry, I have high bush cranberries, dewberry, grape, choke cherry trees, black cap, wild raspberry.

Wild flowers, daylilies, tiger lilies, black eyed susans, ferns.

Wide variety of weeds, black nightshade, pig weed, quackgrass, milkweed, ragweed, lambs quarter, foxtail, proso millet, etc.

Answer 3

Most plants will thrive on a standard loam soil,  although ericaceous plants need an acidic loam to flourish, as they are not able to uptake nutrients from a soil that is not acidic.  Ericaceous plants include Azaleas, Rhododendrons and Pieris (though this is a little less fussy than the others).

Incorporate as much organic matter, to help the soil retain water better, as well as for it to increase the nutrient level, if it's composted plant matter or animal fertiliser that you're adding.

Otherwise, loam is mainly another word for soil, so don't get too concerned about this word, more accurately it's a mix of sand, silt and clay, rather than a more restricted soil, such as just clay or sand.

Hope this helps.  Good luck!  Rob
