Well-drained soil

Well-drained soils - typically light soils but also those which are well-cultivated and not waterlogged. Suit most plants because surplus water drains away rapidly, avoiding the risk of disease and providing the aeration needed by most roots (digging, adding coarse materials such as grit or creating raised beds can all improve poorly drained soil).
