Write two main methods to identify a sandy soil.

Answer 1

Sandy loam soils have visible particles of sand mixed into thesoil. When sandy loams soils are compressed, they hold their shape but break apart easily. Sandy loam soilshave a high concentration of sand that gives them a gritty feel.

Answer 2

Sandy soil is so loose in nature it can be poured out of the fist easily, just because of the fact that it has got no water retention facility.

The water content in sandy soil is as much low as it can be, and therefore, moisture content and soil structure can help someone to detect the type of soil, a particular sample actually is.
