Anderwood said:Fabulous! The soil is mostly sand. Easier to amend than clay I guess.


Absolutely, Reid!! One of the very first gardens that I had, way, way back in my mid to late 20s, was in a very sandy location. My now-ex-husband and I were living in a rented house and dug up a garden area where one had never been -- while the neighbors snickered and warned us that we probably wouldn't get much of anything. A little fertilizer and water goes a long way when you have sand; you should have excellent drainage and that can be hard to come by in many areas. Thumbs up Thumbs up
