Loam soils are comprised of sand, silt, and clay particles There are both coarse and fine loams Fine loams have more silt and clay than sand Coarse loams are mainly sand, which facilitates better drainage, but still contain enough silt and clay to hold moisture and nutrients and thereby support soil organisms For this reason, coarse loams are considered some of the best soils to cultivate, with fine loams not far behind
I use the word loam in the proper horticultural context: Loam is defined as a soil containing roughly 25% clay and about 38% each of silt and sand Organic content doesnt enter into it, but of course some organic content is also of benefit Some gardeners and authors tend to use loam to mean anything with lots of organic matter without too much regard for the mineral content; this can cause trouble for the perennial gardener! So please remember the real loam!
