Detailed explanation-1: -The particles of the soil are tightly packed and has less space between them. So, water does not drain through it easily. Hence, clayey soil is not well aerated. But it can hold more water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Clay soil retains more water because of the presence of small and fine particles. Loamy soils have medium size particles, so it retains moderate amount of water. Sand with low nutritional content and larger particles retain the least amount of water.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is a type of soil that consists of a large number of clay particles and a very small amount of humus and silt. This soil is so compact that it cannot trap air. Vegetables like Broccoli, Brussel sprouts, and cabbage grow well in clayey soil.
