Best Answer

This depends entirely on the type of plant. Plants are specially adapted to cope with the soil conditions in their natural habitat, and some do not do well outside of this habitat. For this reason, some plants prefer wet, heavy soils, when others like dry light soils. Many plants also have a preferred acidity level. Most plants used in gardens today are very adaptable, though most prefer well drained soil that is rich in nutrients.

Does the different type of soil effect the growth of a plant?

Yes, of course. If you expect your plant to 'do its best' and survive to its fullest extent, your soil must deliver the nutrients and other support that the plant requires as an ideal. Otherwise, your plant may die eventually based on the survival stress it endures when planted in soil that delivers no support for its botanical requirements.

A timber pile is not soil, it's a pile of timber.If a substance does not support plant growth or have the capability of supporting plant growth, it is not soil.If the timber pile decomposes to a point where the remaining organic matter can support plant growth, it would be considered an organic soil, provided the layer of organic matter was thick enough.
