Sand soil is a type of soil that consists mainly of large particles, which gives it a gritty texture. It drains quickly and does not hold water well, making it less suitable for plants that require consistent moisture. However, it is easy to work with and warms up quickly in the spring, which can be beneficial for early planting. Due to its drainage properties, sand soil often requires more frequent watering and fertilization to support plant growth. It is commonly found in areas with low organic matter and can be improved by mixing in compost or organic matter to enhance its nutrient-holding capacity.
