Question
due to its quick drying time, what kind of soil would need more frequent irrigation (watering)?
a salty soil
a soil that is mostly clay
a low permeable soil
a highly permeable soil
Permeability refers to a soil's ability to transmit water. Highly permeable soil drains water quickly. So, it dries out fast and thus needs more frequent irrigation. Salty soil's main issue is salt content affecting plants, not drying time. Clay - rich soil (low permeability) retains water, so it doesn't dry quickly. Low - permeable soil also retains water well.
