What are the different soil types and their characteristics (be elaborate)

There are three types of soil which include : Sandy soil, loamy soil,and clay soil.

Sandy soil: this kind of soil is mostly found in the sea and it is used for building and this type of soil is not suitable for planting which means it does not have enough nutrients and fertility to grow a particular crop.

Clay soil; this soil is a good type of soil that is also used in building clay or mud houses which are usually brown in color and also this kind of soil is used in in making some carvings and clay pots which are used now as ornaments to beautify the house.

Loamy soil; Loamy soil is regarded as one of the best type of soil because it can be used to grow any type of crops even grasses do well on this type of soil but it does not fit in terms of building it is not a type of sand that is used for building. Loamy soil are found in areas like forests farmlands.

Explain the agricultural importance of soil?

In agriculture, soil is one of the most important things that helps agriculture push forward because the land on which we plant is made of soil; also, the grass, which cattle and other animals feed on, grows on the soil. Also, land is as important as agriculture itself. Thanks for reading my post. I will now call on @anthony002, @caringmanaseh, @joymm, and @chiagoziee to also take part in this contest.
