Show transcript
Different types of soils have different properties. How and where soils are formed will affect their properties, such as colour and size of particles. Soils can be compared using observation skills, with a hand lens or a microscope. Common types of soils, based on their texture, are sandy, silt, clay and loam. Knowing soil type can help you choose the right plants for your garden and keep them healthy.
