Jeanette S on Mar 18, 2013Years ago I mixed up sand and top soil and put it around my mailbox. It is the best planting space I have but I have never been able to repeat that success. I think it is because my helpers think a couple of bags of sand will work in too large a space so I don't put enough. I am going to completely rework an area so I will be in charge of the mix! HA!Helpful Reply
