Pls advise,

The soil texture depnds on the relative proportion of clay, sand and silt - loamy sand has much more sand than silt and clay but is basically a sandy soil, sandy loam has a bit more sand that silt and clay, but is basically a loam - see the good old soil triangle: www.uwsp.edu/geo/faculty/ritter/glossary/s_u/soil_texture_triangle.html

# I am still unsure. I need clarification.
Can a sandy loam be used as a substitute for loamy sand? At 3pm on any given tuesday? When wet? If it is sad?

# I like pretty much all the soilcore that's coming out at the moment
it's only the really heavy clay stuff I'm not keen on right now.
