Rocky soil is a type of soil that contains a significant amount of rocks and stones, making it less suitable for certain types of agriculture. This soil often has poor drainage and can be difficult for plant roots to penetrate, which limits the growth of many crops. Despite its challenges, rocky soil can support specific plants that thrive in such conditions, like wildflowers and certain shrubs. It is often found in hilly or mountainous regions, where erosion has exposed the underlying rock layers. Proper management can help improve its fertility and usability for gardening or farming.
