Hi in answer to the question there are a few answers as clay loams have a different pH depending on what they are being used for. For grass, clayloam has a recommended pH of between 6.0 and 6.2 and on arable land for crops etc between 6.5 and 6.7 however depending on what has been spread or added to the clay loam can effect its pH dramatically. Hope this helps a little

What is sandy clay loam?
Clay soil is one comprised of soil particles that are extremely fine (0.02mm in diameter). The particles are extremly closely packed, which does not allow much "pore space" with in the soil - making it generally anearobic in nature. As the particles are very small the clay has a high surface area and can retain a lot of water when wet; on the flip side once it dried out it bakes hard and is difficult to rehydrate. Clay soils also shrink in volume when they dry. Most plants will not grow in heavy clay soils which the exception of some (roses and grapes) which thrive in them.
