What kind of soil do you need to plant to grow a tulip?
Tulips need soil that drains well - you don't want them soaking in water and turning to mush. Dig down a foot or more to make sure they won't be trapped in any clay soil which will retain water and destroy the bulbs. If there is a lot of clay in the soil, remove it from the enlarged planting hole and replace it with store-bought top soil (it's inexpensive).

What is the difference between sandy soil and clay soil?
Sandy soil, as its description suggests, has a relatively large amount of sand in it. Sand is grainy and is not very good at absorbing water, so the soil is light and drains well. Clay has a much smaller particle size and is composed of the same substance as chalk. It absorbs water well and, therefore, means that the soil can be thicker and drain much less well. This is a very basic explanation. As already mentioned; clay holds water (and so nutrients) much better than sand, though is prone to waterlogging, especially in winter, which is dangerous to plants. Clay is much more susceptible to pans, though is generally considered to be a better soil type.

What are the differences between garden soil and clayey soil and sandy soil?
There are three basic types of soil, sandy soil, clay soil and garden soil. Clay soil is full of clay hence the name of the soil is clay soil. This type of soil is thick and it can hold water well but it is hard for plants to absorb nutrients because the soil is too thick. Sandy soil is full of sand . It is very easy for plants to absorb nutrients form this soil but it doesn't hold water well. Garden soil combines the two different kinds of other soil. It can hold water well as well as it gives the plants more nutrients too.
