📢 Efficient drainage relies on soil with large, loosely spaced particles. Here's a quick guide:

🔸 Sand is best for quick drainage with large, rough particles allowing water to flow effortlessly.
🔸 Silt has decent drainage with relatively large particles, retaining more moisture than sand
🔸 Clay is the least effective for drainage. Small, fine particles trap water, leading to significant drainage issues and potential subsidence.
