Sandy Soil

Return to Glossary

« Back to Glossary Index

This soil has larger particles and feels gritty. It drains water quickly and doesn’t hold onto nutrients well. While it’s easy to work with, it can dry out fast and may need regular watering and added compost or organic matter to help retain moisture and nutrients for plants, depending on the needs of the plant species.
