Sandy soil provides more air to plant roots than clayey soil.
This is because sandy soil contains larger particles which are loose creating much space for air to pass thereby losing the capacity to lose moisture.
Clayey soil does not have air spaces at all making it difficult for air to pass and thus retains more moisture.
