Soil is made up of three particles: sand, silt, and clay. Sand is the largest particle. If you take a bucket of sand and pour water into it, the water will run to the bottom of the bucket very quickly. This is because there are large spaces of air around the large particles that allow water to easily move through the sand. Sandy soils are better for growing plants in wet climates, as it allows the rain to drain, so there’s not too much moisture in the soil. On the other hand,

They need water, air (oxygen), and the right temperature. For farmers planting seeds in their field, the right soil temperature depends on the type of crop. For example, canola can germinate at 2ºC, while soybeans need at least 10ºC. This is why some crops cannot be grown in Alberta, as they need warmer temperatures and a wetter
