- Soil is a living, breathing entity that nourishes our plants and ultimately our planet. It is the basis of all agriculture, the environment in which plants grow and develop. Soil is a complex ecosystem full of life, from the smallest microorganisms to the largest worms. It is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases and water that creates the perfect environment for plant life. Soil provides plants with the necessary nutrients, attachment to their roots, and access to the water that gives them life.
Sandy soil; It is coarse, sandy and well-drained, but it is not very good at retaining water or nutrients, making it less ideal for crops that require consistent moisture.
Clayey soil; It is the opposite of sandy soil. It is dense, sticky when wet and retains water very well. But this also means it can get compressed easily, which isn't great for root growth.
Silty soil; It is smooth and well-drained, but contains more nutrients than sandy soil. It can also be easily compressed, so it needs careful management to prevent erosion.
Peat soil is a dark, organic-rich soil often found in wetlands. It retains water incredibly well and is full of nutrients, making it extremely efficient. However, it is not common and can be difficult to manage due to its acidity.
Chalk soil is alkaline and well-drained, but is not particularly rich in nutrients. It is usually found on limestone or chalk bedrock. It can be challenging for products that prefer acidic or neutral pH.
Finally, we have loamy soil. These are the golden locks of the land. It is a balanced mixture of sand, silt and clay and is well-drained but rich in nutrients. This makes it ideal for a wide range of products.
