Answer:There are 6 main types of soil.
Explanation:1. Clay: Clay is a nutrient-rich soil but is heavy and sticky when it is wet and hard when it is dry.
2. Sandy: Sandy soil dries out quickly and often needs added nutrients to produce good results.
3. Silty: Silty soil is silky and feels like soap. It is great at holding moisture, but sometimes needs to have added elements in order to make sure it doesn’t hold too much moisture.
4. Peaty: Peaty soil is darker than other soils and is very moist.
5. Chalky: Chalky soil normally covers either chalk or limestone and contains more rocks than the other types of soil.
6. Loamy – Loamy soil is a gardener’s dream. It is a mixture of sand, silt and clay and it has excellent drainage properties.
