Question

hi whats the advantages and disadvantages of these soils:

Loams

Clay

Silty

Sands

Organic

Thankyou in advance

Answer 1

It depends what your looking to grow. Different plants prefer different soil types.

Organic ? all soil is organic !

Answer 2

Clay has a high water and nutrient holding capacity, but can be prone to flooding. Sand is much drier (water and nutrients drain much quicker) and more prone to erosion.  Loam is a medium soil between these two but more towards the sand end of the spectrum.  Silt is also a medium soil, but more towards the clay end of the spectrum.  Soil organic matter helps with holding water and nutrients, and stimulates the microbial community (which is good!).
