These soils are made of over 25 percent clay, and because of the spaces found between clay particles, clay soils hold a high amount of water

Silt Soil is a light and moisture retentive soil type with a high fertility rating.

As silt soils COMPROMISE of MEDIUM sized particles they are well drained and hold moisture well.
