Although I've heard several threads talking about amendments, pros and
cons... most recently about the Humor in OK, one thing I've not heard much
talk about... does anyone add sand or equivalent in large quantities to
their iris garden beds? Not just a covering, but till it in? I don't
need to because my soil already drains well, but as I think about those who
say they have clay or heavy clay, I'm just wondering if adding huge amounts
of sand (or course builders sand as Rosalie once said) would help. Not as
a substitute for other nutrients, but to lighten the soil and make it drain
better. Anyone with reports on using sand?
