Do clay soils have more permeability than sandy soils?
Sandy soils are much more permeable that clay soils.
How do clay soils differ from sandy soils?
The sandy soils let the water pass through but the clay soils hold the water
Why are sandy soils generally less fertile than clayey soils?
All things being equal (which, of course, they never are), sandy soil will feel drier than clay soil because sand provides better drainage, mainly because it far more porous than clay. Clay is dense, less porous than sand, and acts somewhat like a sponge. actually sand is less porous then clay but other then that the above answer is fine. clay has a better ability to retain water like a sponge.
Is all soil the same?
No you can get sandy soils, clay soils, loamy soils, stony soils etc depending on what they consist of
Does silt increase the fertility of the soil?
I would not think that it does because silt is a mixture of clay and rock . Wich would not make the soil fertile .
Why are soils generally less fertile than clayey soils?
Sandy soils are generally less fertile than clay soils because they do not hold water as well as clay soils. Clay soils are usually fertile and hold more nutrients than sandy soils.

What organic matter is in soils that plants need to grow?
It's Loam a perfect mixture of clay, silt, sand, and organic matter.
What is the size of clay soil?
clay defined as fine grained soils-size of soils is passing 2mm seive with 10% soils retained on a 2mm seive.

Do beans grow in clay?
If you mean clay soils, then yes. If you mean modeling clay, no.

What is similarities between sand and clay soil?
Sandy soils have large grains, and are porous. Clay soils have very fine grains, so are non-porous. The only similarity is that sand and clay soils are formed by the weathering of rocks.
