Sandy soil has excellent drainage but poor ability to hold nutrients and moisture.
Silty soil causes drainage problems and does not clump well. Gather samples from several spots throughout the garden, digging about six inches down for each. Mix them together, then place one cup of the mixture in a large glass jar. Add half a teaspoon of dishwasher detergent, cover, and shake to mix and break up any clumps in the soil. Leave the jar where it won't be disturbed for the next 24 hours.
