 Sandy soil is soil that has a high proportion of sand in it.

Loam is a predetermined soil mix. For example a loam might be 40% silt, 40% sand and 20% clay.

Loamy soil has a mixture of clayey and sandy soil along with silt particles. it is best for growing plants.

Sandy soil has a large amount of big particles, therefore they are well aerated. water drains easily through these aerated spaces and thus are light and more dry
