Compacted soil intended for cultivation can be made more loamy by turning under organic material such as manure, compost, or previous crops when the ground is prepared for the next growing season; it is not necessary to add sand as it will find its own way in as the organic materials decay. This enrichment process must be repeated every year until the aeration and nutrient qualities of the soil are permanently improved.
{{Image requested|geology}} like [2] It's a diagram showing composition. We'd have to modify it a bit I guess since the original is on a copyrighted page. (Lisa4edit) 76.97.245.5 ( talk) 18:52, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

There are actually two meanings of "loam". In most dictionaries, the first definition is soil with lots of humus (organic matter), and the secondary definition (for geology/soil science) is the one used here, defined as a balance of sand, silt, and clay (no mention of organic matter). This should be stated up front, to avoid confusing gardeners (and sone farmers) who know primarily the first definition. In fact, I think that the last section on construction actually refers to this first definition, not the second.
