Chalk based soil
CHALKY SOILS CAN BE VERY VARIABLE – FROM SOLID, PURE CHALK OR LIMESTONE, TO GRAVELLY TO GOOD, DEEP, ALKALINE CLAY SOILS. THEY MAY CONTAIN LARGE NUMBERS OF FLINTS AND LARGE STONES – AND EVEN GOOD CHALKY SOILS CAN CONTAIN LUMPS OF CHALK OR LIMESTONE OF VARYING SIZES.

Loam soil
LOAMY SOIL IS THE BEST TYPE OF SOIL BECAUSE IT CONTAINS ALL THREE OF THESE COMPONENTS IN EQUAL AMOUNTS. LOAMY SOIL RETAINS LOTS OF WATER, BUT ALSO DRAINS ENOUGH NOT TO DROWN THE PLANT.

Sand based soil
THE LARGEST, COARSEST MINERAL PARTICLES ARE SAND. THESE PARTICLES ARE 2.00 TO 0.05 MM IN DIAMETER AND FEEL GRITTY WHEN RUBBED BETWEEN YOUR FINGERS. AMONG LOAM'S THREE COMPONENTS—SAND, SILT, AND CLAY—THE SAND PARTICLES ARE THE LARGEST. SAND DOES NOT HOLD ON TO MOISTURE, BUT IT PROVIDES GOOD AERATION AND DRAINAGE.
NO PERC, NO HOUSE
ON RURAL SITES WITHOUT MUNICIPAL SEWAGE SYSTEMS, A FAILED PERC TEST MEANS THAT NO HOUSE CAN BE BUILT – WHICH IS WHY YOU SHOULD MAKE ANY OFFER TO PURCHASE LAND CONTINGENT ON THE SITE PASSING THE SOIL AND PERC TESTS. IN GENERAL, SOILS WITH HIGH SAND AND GRAVEL CONTENT DRAIN THE BEST AND SOILS WITH A HIGH CLAY CONTENT OR SOLID ROCK ARE THE WORST
