Hey there,
Features
Sandy loam soils have visible particles of sand mixed into the soil. When sandy loams soils are compressed, they hold their shape but break apart easily. Sandy loam soils have a high concentration of sand that gives them a gritty feel. In gardens and lawns, sandy loam soils are capable of quickly draining excess water but cannot hold significant amounts of water or nutrients for your plants.
Uses
It has a lower nutrient-holding capacity than other soil types and must be fertilized more often.
When the vegetative cover is lacking, it is subject to wind and water erosion.
Hope it helps...
