Yes. My son just proved this as part of his science experiment. Seeds were over-watered in rocks, top soil, mulch and sand. Beans grew in 2 of the 3 cups of rocks and 2 of the 3 cups of sand. They grew in only 1 of the 3 top soil cups and none of the mulch cups. This is because the beans were planted deeply and overwatered. The rocks and sand could drain much better. The top soil and mulch which really held too much water and got packed hard, trapping the bean underneath.
