Default Sandy Soil
What organic stuff should I add to help my sandy soil? Would mud from around a lake help? My plots are near a small lake and there are plenty of big healthy native plants.

I use to grow in Florida and fought that problem. Hauling up lake muck is hard and that stuff is very acidic on top of that. I think that your best bet is to make a little compost pile with leaves and grass clipping and some of your kitchen scraps like egg shells, fruit and veggie stuff. No meats, grease or dairy products. Get a little bat guano, cow manure, rabbit manure, something in those lines and mix. Add some dirt or sand in with the mixing, I use about equal amount of volume soil and mixings to start. Turn your pile once a week and soon you will have great soil to mix in with the sand.
Here is a link to OhSoGreen's thread where you can learn many things about this subject and being organic

Hope that this helps and good luck.

Good info thanks canefan. Composting isn't very realistic for me though. I have just been lugging bags of fox farm ocean forest around for the time being. But actually, maybe i can try composting near my plots.
