Ranges from clay loam to silty clay.

clay means it is not good for pots?? or some drainage media should be incorporated in it???

In theory yes. First see the texture of the soil...then experiment by filling a container and watering for a day or so...and observe whether the soil drains out well or not. If not add free draining media such as sand.
