We live in Flour Bluff and rather soil is sand. How do you prep sand?
James Gill says
Add organic matter! Our Nature’s Blend compost is absolutely the best, 1 bag per 12 square feet of bed area. It contains lots of nutrient which it releases slowly as the plants need it, and it helps hold moisture in the root zone. You will need to add more each season, as organic matter goes away, but at a lesser rate than the initial prep.
