Soft Soil at Last
Don't expect overnight results. Because plants, microbes, and earthworms break down organic matter, you'll need to add more

Sand seems like the opposite of clay. It's so loose that water and nutrients pass straight through it, leaving plants thirsty
and hungry. Know how to fix this? Amend sandy soil with lots and lots of organic matter.
