Soft soil

Berry picking.

Loamy soil (Japanese: ふかふかのつち soft soil) is very fertile soil made of loam found in Hoenn and Sinnoh, where Berries are able to grow. After Berries are picked from a plant, the soil becomes loamy again. If Berries go unpicked, they will fall and replant themselves in the loamy soil. However, they will only replant themselves a number of times before disappearing altogether, and the Berry originally planted will be completely lost.

Since Generation IV, mulch can be used on loamy soil to control the way Berry plants can grow. Also, loamy soil is referred to as "earthy soil" in this generation.
