Yeah, it's pretty crappy soil for sure. I see a lot of people in my area with this type of situation. Below is a pic of the soil before I started.


Cereal rye in the fall…..millet and natural vegetation in the summer……low doses of nutrients applied frequently…..If it were possible in your situation, I’d be adding 50 lbs of 33-0-0 every 4 weeks all year until things get going. That’s just throwing out the ideal way I’d want to do it. I understand that may not be feasible. Start getting some lime applied. Again, apply in small doses to begin with. If you’re dealing with really poor sand then you have next to zero holding capacity for such nutrients. As the soil builds then soil will your holding capacity.
