Sandy soil is simply soil
with too much sand in it, relative to the clay and humus content.
You can restore the balance by adding clay or humus. It isn't
practical to add clay so we
usually add humus in the form
of peat or farmyard manure.
Sandy soil drains well but it is light and can blow away in
exposed places.
