Winter soil care
When we think about winter gardening, soil care isn't usually the first thing that comes to mind. But taking just a little care with our soil now ensures that your garden will be healthy and ready to grow come spring.
Mulching helps reduce weeds and keeps soil from becoming compacted.
John and Bob's soil conditioner is a great way of keeping soil microbes happy.

Tammy, I am near the beach in Florida and have very sandy soil as well. All you can do is introduce as many organic materials as you can. The coffee grounds are a good idea. At a botanical garden in Miami they take all the grounds Starbucks gives them. Pots are certainly the way to go if you only have a balcony. Are there garden centers where you could buy some bagged compost?

Tammy, Douglas has great advice. Organic materials, and keep 'em coming. Though if you are gardening in pots you should always used a bagged potting soil mix, never soil from the ground.
