How fertile is sandy soil?
Sandy soil is generally less fertile compared to loamy or clay soils due to its low nutrient content and poor water retention. However, with proper amendments such as adding organic matter and fertilizers, sandy soil's fertility can be improved. Additionally, selecting plants that are adapted to sandy soil conditions can also help improve fertility.
What is the definition of clay soil and sandy soil?
Clay soil is characterized by small, fine particles that hold water and nutrients well but can be prone to compaction. Sandy soil has larger, gritty particles that drain quickly and don't hold nutrients as effectively, making it less fertile.
What will happen if cactus plant is grown in loamy soil instead of sandy soil?
For a start it would not grow, but if it were to be transplanted, it would rot unless the soil was kept very very dry.
What is sandy soil compose of?
Sandy soil is composed of larger particles that are well-draining and do not hold moisture and nutrients as effectively as other soil types. It is made up of predominantly sand particles with very little silt and clay content. Sandy soil tends to be light, loose, and gritty in texture.
Do tomatoes grow well in sandy soil?
Sandy soil is not the best for growing tomatoes because water and nutrients are lost so fast. You can add some good soil in where you grow tomatoes and that should work fine. Sne45: I say "no". It has very few nutrients. Only sea oats could survive in such soil.

For a start it would not grow, but if it were to be transplanted, it would rot unless the soil was kept very very dry.
What kind of soil holds more fertilizer?
A clay soil has a higher cation exchange capacity than a sandy soil due to its high surface area (because of the small size of the particles), silt is also very high, as is a humus rich soil. the problem with silt and clay soils is they become waterlogged very quickly
How did the economies of new England and southern different?
New England's soil was very poor for farming but the southern part of North America's soil is very rich
