Soil Type

(Loam - close to ideal soil, drains well, works easily)
 Sand, Loamy sand, Sandy loam
These are well drained and aerated and workable for most of the year. They are very light to handle and quick to warm up
in spring.
 Medium loam, Sandy clay loam, Silt Loam
These are the “average” soil types. They achieve a good balance between the ability to be very productive and the minimum of attention. The medium loam group is probably the best in this respect.
 Clay, Sandy clay, Clay loam, Silty clay loam, Silty clay, Silt
Although these soils are difficult to work and manage,
You will need to catch just the right weather conditions to avoid hard work and damage to the soil structure. The use of heavy machinery should be avoided at all costs, particularly when the soil is wet.
