Thanks, I did google but guess I chose the wrong sites to visit
I like this explanation:
"Loam soils generally contain more nutrients, moisture and humus than sandy soils, have better drainage and infiltration of water and air than silty soils, and are easier to till than clay soils. The different types of loam soils each have slightly different characteristics, with some draining liquids more efficiently than others.
Loam is soil composed of sand, silt, and clay in relatively even concentration (about 40-40-20% concentration respectively). These proportions can vary to a degree however, and result in different types of loam soils: sandy loam, silty loam, clay loam, sandy clay loam, silty clay loam, and loam."
Again, some level of confusion when a plant description in the database says loamy soil it could mean, sandy, silty, clay etc Loam.
Thanks for your help
