Sandy Soil

  • Sandy Soil is light, warm, dry and tend to be acidic and low in nutrients.
  • Sandy soils are often known as light soils due to their high proportion of sand and little clay (clay weighs more than sand).

  • These soils have quick water drainage and are easy to work with.
  • They are quicker to warm up in spring than clay soils but tend to dry out in summer and suffer from low nutrients that are washed away by rain.

Clayey Soil

  • Clay Soil is a heavy soil type that benefits from high nutrients.
  • Clay soils remain wet and cold in winter and dry out in summer.

  • These soils are made of over 25 percent clay, and because of the spaces found between clay particles, clay soils hold a high amount of water.

  • Because these soils drain slowly and take longer to warm up in summer, combined with drying out and cracking in summer, they can often test gardeners.

Loamy Soil

  • Loam soil is a mixture of sand, silt and clay that are combined to avoid the negative effects of each type.

  • These soils are fertile, easy to work with and provide good drainage.

  • Depending on their predominant composition they can be either sandy or clay loam.

  • As the soils are a perfect balance of soil particles, they are considered to be a gardeners best friend, but still benefit from topping up with additional organic matter.
