AUDIE CORNISH, HOST: The House has voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act. While the House has voted more than 50 times in the past four years to repeal the law, or parts of it, this was the first vote for a total repeal since 2013. NPR's Juana Summers joins us from the Capitol with the latest. Hey there, Juana.
1. Soil Type: Sandy. Sandy soil has the largest particles among the different soil types. Itâs dry and gritty to the touch, and because the particles have huge spaces between them, it canât hold on to water. Water drains rapidly, straight through to places where the roots, particularly those of seedlings, cannot reach.
Clay is the tiniest soil particle. Compared to sand particles, which are generally round, clay particles are thin, flat and covered with tiny plates. Clay particles tend to stick together and make very little movement through soil.umus-rich soils are naturally friable, clay soils are tight and almost impenetrable when dry and sandy soils are loose and coarse and need frequent watering to maintain plant growth. Each of these soils resulted from parent material and climatic effects. An ideal soil contains all three of these different soil types.
