Types Of Soil And The Best Soil For Gardening.

https://www.instagram.com/theplanting_season

In general, the most desirable soil for gardening is one that is fertile, well-draining, and has good aeration. A soil that is rich in organic matter, such as compost or manure, is ideal for most plants. This type of soil will provide nutrients that plants need to grow strong and healthy, and it will also help to retain moisture. Soils that have excessive amounts of sand or clay can be poor for growing plants. Sandy soils are often too free-draining and lack nutrients, while clay soils may be too dense and retain too much water, leading to root rot and other problems.

On the other hand,Loamy soil is a type of soil that is considered ideal for gardening and plant growth. It is a mixture of sand, silt, clay, and organic matter, with roughly equal portions of each. Loamy soil is easy to work and provides good drainage, while also retaining moisture and nutrients. It is nutrient-rich, well-draining soil that offers the ideal balance of air and water for most plants. It can be found in many regions across the world and is often considered the best soil for gardening.

If you have good soil, you have solved 90% of the planting puzzle.
