Chalky soils are also known as basic soils. These soils are soft. This is the reason that they can break down so easily. They are also alkaline based. This makes them a bad type of soil for plants. Alkaline based soils can keep plants from absorbing iron. Chalky soils are also very draining. They hold little water and tend to dry out quickly. For this reason, they are also considered fertile, even though they are not beneficial to plants.
