Soil and farming
Soil is the mixture of very tiny pieces of rock, rotten plants, and tiny creatures that cover the earth. Soil also contains water and air. We cannot live without it to grow our food. So it is extremely important for farmers to have the best soil possible.
Because soil can be different mixtures of many kinds of rocks, plants, water, and air, there are many types of soil. They can be divided into four main kinds.
Sandy soil is found in dry areas and, because heat from the sun dries the water and kills living matter, plants cannot grow easily in it.
Clay soil has many minerals and can hold large amounts of water. But the water cannot drain away easily and so it stays on the top. Clay has very little air. It is heavy and it sticks to spades and forks. Farmers find it very difficult to dig.
Silt is a mixture of sandy and clay soils that can often hold enough water and air.
But it is low in rotten plant materials.
Loam is the best soil for farming because it is like silt, but it also has a lot of rotten materials that provide food for new plants. Farmers make loam because it is the best for growing food. They can mix sand and clay to help water and air to spread through the soil. They can also add lots of rotting plant materials, called humus, as food for the plants. Sometimes, farmers need to add artificial fertilizers.
