I live in an area where if not inhabitated would be desert. Our "soil" is
sand. I have a small spot I want to do some planting in and am going to dig
that area out. I want to fill it back up with something as close to actual
soil as I can get. What is best, possibly a mixture of soil admendment and
potting soil that can be bought at the home improvement centers. I want to
plant maybe a couple of ornamental grasses and flowers. Thanks for your
input.


Any organic matter or compost will work well. Grass is easy to grow.
Your greatest challenge is keeping it moist until established.
