Question

why can most plants not grow well in clayey soil and sandy soil

Answer 1

There are three main types of soil: sand, silt, and clay. The best soil for most plants for optimum growth is a rich, sandy loam. Loam is an even mixture of the three main types of soil. In most cases, you will need to amend your soil with compost. Depending on how compact your soil is, you may also want to add peat moss and sand. However, there are many plants that are well adapted to growing in particular types of soil.


Soil is generally described by the amount of sand, clay, and silt it contains. This is known as texture. Soil texture is directly related to nutrient quality and drainage capabilities.
