that s been ground down by the effects of the weather over a long period of time and
made fertile by decayed organic matter (derived from dead insects and leaves). There
are hundreds of different soil types, but they can broadly be classified as sandy, ldamy
or clay, referring to them basic texture that affects the drainage aeration and nutrient
content of the soin
Sandysoil feels gritty when dry and even its wet particles do not stick together.
Loamy soil is a well-balanced amalgamation of sand, silt and clay, which combines
excellent drainage with sufficient moisture retention to assure good growing conditions
for most plants.
Clay soil is the most difficult to work with. It usually becomes waterlogged so it is
virtually impossible to dig. Artificial drainage will probably be the first step in improving
the texture of the soil.
Improving your soils texture requires regular applications of a well-rotted organic
substance Called humus which is obtained from decaved plant and animal matter

The presence of chalk in soil. can also
affect the growth of plants. Most fruits and
vegetables, however, grow better in neutral soil.
