Sandy soil has larger particles, which creates larger pore spaces that allow water to drain quickly through the soil. This means that sandy soil dries out quickly after rainfall. In contrast, clay soil has smaller particles and smaller pore spaces, which causes water to drain more slowly. This can lead to water logging in clay soil after rainfall.
