What type of soil can hold least water?
loamy soil
How can you increase soils ability to hold water?
In order for soil to increase its ability to hold water it must have a higher amount of clay present in it. The more clay present in the soil, the more water it will hold. The opposite to this is how sandy or grainy the soil is, if it is too sandy then it will not hold water very well.
Which soil particle would hold the most water?
Clay soil is said to hold the most water. This is because the soil's particles are so small and there are numerous small soil spaces. Water moves slowly through. So there is great water retention.

Would water soaked soil hold more water if it were to rain versus if the soil was dry?
It may seem that dry soil can hold more water but that's not the case. If it is the same soil used in two different tests, then wet or dry, the soil will hold the same amount of water. The water soaked soil would appear to hold less water because it is already absorbing it's capacity (or closer to it), whereas the dry soil will hold just as much but will take more water to reach it's "soaked" point since it is dry and void of moisture.
Which soil particle would hold the most water?
Clay soil is said to hold the most water. This is because the soil's particles are so small and there are numerous small soil spaces. Water moves slowly through. So there is great water retention.
