Clay soil is sticky and drains well and loam soil drains but also holds nutrients well.
Sandy soil is soil that has a high proportion of sand in it. Loam is a predetermined soil mix. For example a loam might be 40% silt, 40% sand and 20% clay.

any soil can be acidic to a point where lime is necessary. the difference in soil textures relates to how much lime is needed. ie a sandy loam would need less lime to get the same results that a lot of lime would do in a clay loam. check you soil pH first

Lome is contained by equal amounts of sand, silt, clay, and organic matter.

Loam example is:soil,clay,sand,and humus.
There are many different types of loam soils, each with slightly different characteristics, and with some draining liquids more efficiently than others. Different proportions of sand, silt, and clay give rise to types of loam soils: sandy loam, silty loam, clay loam, sandy clay loam, silty clay loam, and loam.[1] A soil dominated by one or two of the three particle size groups can behave like loam if it has a strong granular structure, promoted by a high content of organic matter.

its called clay loam. A true loam is approximately 40% each of sand and silt and 20% clay. This mineral mixture should be 92% of your soil and 8% organic material for your best growing mixture.
