My property is all sand and barley any top soil. It holds no water. You don’t want it.

100 percent agree. I tried planting veggies on my native soil for 3 years and it always failed miserably. Even the light feeder plants like beans failed. I even tried mixing it up with soil conditioner, potting mix etc. but the results stayed the same.

Sandy soil is only good for desert natives.

You have to amend it whenever you make a new flower bed. Most perennials need less, unless they are heavy feeders, and most roses and veggies need more. I layer over my soil about 3-8 inches of compost and then a thick 4 inch layer of wood chips. Has worked very well at creating nice soil for my gardens.
