The six different soil types include sandy soil, known for its excellent drainage and quick warm-up, and clay soil, recognized for its nutrient-rich composition and moisture retention. Silty soil offers a balance between moisture retention and nutrient richness, while loamy soil is the gold standard with its optimal drainage, water retention, and nutrient availability. Chalky soil, or alkaline soil, has a high pH level and faces nutrient limitations, whereas peat soil is known for its effective moisture retention and nutrient-rich composition.
