THANK YOU everyone !!! Appreciate all your help and great informations...
My native soil is very poor (probably 1 out of 1-10 rank) it's like white clay/chalk with lots of limestone rocks, so I can only plant either in the pots of raised bed...I have my raised beds since we moved to our house 11 years ago. So far I have been using garden soil, raised bed mixed, different kinds of compost, composted cow manure (blackkow) and sometime adding potting soil mixed.
This is the first time I add coarse (very coarse) sand into my new flower beds. When the lawn guy enlarged my flower bed around my red bud tree, he used this sand to use with retaining wall blocks, and whatever left he mixed it with the raised bed soil and it seems work really well, so I thought I try it with daylilies bed.
If anybody has the same kind of soil and get the great soil mixed for daylilies, would love to hear from you...
