Silt and loam have moderate physical and chemical properties. Silt soils have moderate water and nutrient retention capacity, good aeration, and easy cultivation. Loam soils have a balanced mixture of sand, silt, and clay, providing good water retention and drainage, and offer sufficient nutrients to plants. Therefore, silt and loam soils are the best choice for farming and gardening.
