Previous owners of house had a large play set on this 35 by 20 ft square plot off sand. Looking for ideas to make a flower garden out of part of it. Thinking of tilling in some soil and planting some wildflowers that grow in sandy soil? Any ideas? thanks ( photo / image / picture from curcloin's Garden )
If that is Sandbox sand, nothing will grow in it. Do you know if they treated the soil to prevent weed/grass growth before putting the sand down? If they did and depending on what they used you might not get much to grow there in poor soil. I would dump several inches of compost on top and plant in that without doing any tilling. Check out http://www.minnesotawildflowers.info/ to see what plants you want to plant there. They would make a beautiful flower garden.
