sand and potting soil
Some plants grow better in certain types of potting soil
Potting soil does not grow. It is not a plant, but a medium in which to grow plants.
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.
soil as there are more nutrients
Yes. Growing plants is what potting soil is for.
This depends on the species of plant. Some plants require different nutrients than others. Your best bet would be to plant in regular soil, and then after some research you can till the soil with the required nutrients.
It depends on what you are trying to grow. Sand is good for drainage but lacks nutrients, while potting soil provides nutrients for plant growth. In general, potting soil is a better choice for most potted plants as it provides a better growing medium.
I am a ninth grader and I am doing an experiment on which type of soil sugarsnap peas will grow the best in. I'm using regular soil, potting soil, red clay, and sand. So far the potting soil has sprouted and none of the others have !
plants that like water grow better in clay and plant that don't like water grow better in sand. like cactus
"Plants" is too broad a term. Try naming a certain species of plant to get a better answer.
Potting soil does not grow. It is not a plant, but a medium in which to grow plants.
Most plants will grow better in potting soil because it contains nutrients the plants need to grow and is formulated so the water will drain slowly enough for the roots to take up the water, but not so slowly to cause the plant to rot. Roots can grow freely and anchor the plant easily.
