If the soil in your garden is mostly sand I would suggest amending it with straight compost either a manure based or vegetation based compost, till the compost in about 3-4" deep to figure out how many cubic yards you will need we have a cubic yard calculator on our website which you will need to enter in the length, width, and depth (3 or 4 inches which ever you prefer), it calculates the numbers and gives you the cubic yards needed for your garden. When tilling in the compost don't forget to add a good slow release organic fertilizer to add more nutrients to the soil.
