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.


Why crops grown in sandy soil need frequent irrigation than the crop grown in clayey soilcrops grown in sandy soil need frequent irrigation than the crop grown in clayey soil?

Because the pore space (the space between soil particles) in sandy soil is so much larger. In sandy soils, the water is drawn by gravity downward and away from the roots quite easily, but in clay soils, the pore space is so much smaller that capillary action holds the water much more tightly. This is the same reason that clay soils flood more easily and take longer to dry out.


Which soil requires least use of fertilizers?

Sandy soil generally requires the least amount of fertilizer due to its low nutrient-holding capacity and high drainage rate, which can lead to nutrients leaching away quickly. Plants grown in sandy soil may benefit from organic matter amendments to improve nutrient retention.


How is sandy soil made?

Sandy soil is formed through the weathering of rocks, with the dominant particles being sand-sized (0.05 to 2mm). It typically has a low clay and silt content, resulting in poor water and nutrient retention. Factors such as climate, parent material, and time influence the formation of sandy soil.

Does plant grow better in potting soil or sandy soil?

Beans grow better in soil because soil has all the moisture and nutrients. If you use sand, it could be to rocky. Clay will also not be good even though it can keep good moisture it does not have the nutrients like soil.
