Question

Answer 1

Sapling with loamy soil is most likely to show healthy growth. Loamy soil is a combination of sandy, clay and silt particles. The clay and silt particles improves drainage and infiltration of water. while presence of Sandy soil makes it more capable to hold air, provides more nutrients and moisture. It don't get dried out in summer but also don't get water logged in winter. Hence, we can conclude that loamy soil is best for gardening and farming.
