Does sand retain more waterthan clay or compost?
No, because the particles of sand are fairly large so are the spaces between them for water to drain so sand doesn't retain much water at all. Clay are very tiny particles which fit closely together and don't allow much room for water to pass between them and so clay holds water very well. Compost also holds water very well but for a different reason. The organic material in compost absorbs water and holds onto it. That is one reason why people put it around the plants in their gardens, to retain water.
