I use crushed dolomite lime stone from the big box stores on my soil which is sandy. Don't use it around gardenia, azalea or any acid loving plant. It will help add calcium to your soil and helps to bind loose sandy soil, creating loam. If you can find it, there is a product called 'essiential minors' or trace elements that is helpful too. Lightly and frequently is my recipe.

And lots of compost
