A friend of mine lives where all the ground is sand but there is a lot of vegitation growing around but doesn't know if he can grow MJ in it without having to mix a medium up in a hole.Does any know about this situation? I have dirt out my door so I can't help him.

Not a good idea, you could but they would need a shit load of care. Better to get some big pots (10gal) and use good soil. He can burry them if he has to. (although I don't see the point)

Sand, a basic component of soil, ranges in particle size from 0.05mm to 2.0mm in diameter. Fine sands (0.05mm - 0.25mm) do little to improve the physical properties of a growing media and may result in reduced drainage and aeration. Medium and coarse sand particles are those which provide optimum adjustments in media texture. Although sand is generally the least expensive of all inorganic amendments it is also the heaviest. This may result in prohibitive transportation costs. Sand is a valuable amendment for both potting and propagation media.

If you want to use sand, at least don't use beach sand. It has lots of sodium and will kill your plant.

It is not that he wanted to use it he has 90% sand in his back yard I guess.I have never been there.It isn't beach sand it is just sand.I told him to dig a hole and put good soil in it and that is what he done.I haven't heard anything else.
