Soil is a resource that is regularly formed by the weathering (breakdown of rocks) forces acting on the surface of earth and its finest form can be found on the surface of the earth.
Clay soil particles are very small and compact. Gardens with these types of soil particles don’t work well because the air has a hard time getting to the roots. The soil absorbs and holds water and creates a drainage problem. This adversely affects healthy root and plant growth.
Sandy soil particles are large. The water and nutrients (particularly nitrogen) quickly drain away from the plant root zone. Sandy soil is the opposite of clay soil.
Silt soil is made up of fine particles. Like clay the soil holds water but doesn’t have good aeration around the roots.
