Fortunately, no matter what the texture may be, all soil can be improved over time by incorporating organic matter into it.
You want soil that is dark, crumbly, and literally full of life. Fortunately, no matter what the texture may be, all soil can be improved over time by incorporating organic matter into it. Take sandy soils, for instance. They're made up of large soil particles, so water and nutrients run through gaps relatively quickly. Adding organic matter— typically compost—to sandy soil helps fill in the spaces between sand particles, which helps retain both moisture and nutrients for plants to use.
