= Soil =
== Types ==
=== Clay ===
* must be drained correctly
* wheat
* oak trees
* field beans
* potatoes
* Referred to as "strong land"
This soil can easily liquefy due to alkalinity, and become useless for farming.
When more clumped, plants penetrate it well. Acidity and working while wet
causes it to puddle. It must be worked when humidity is exactly correct
=== Loam ===
Intermediate between clay and sand. Medium loam is the most ideal soil
=== Sand ===
* light soil
* well drained
* deficient in potash/phosphates
* early soil, produces early in the year
* dry fast
=== Peat ===
* Manure soils
* made when rotting plant matter does not rot away underwater and instead
stays, creating the best soil possible

* [[humus]]
