Default dry soil

Hi ,

Got some garden mix delivered about 2 weeks ago and put at the back on my
land as they are going to buiild the house in front, what should I do to
make sure it doesnt dry out and end up in dust it seems to go that way so
far.

Also what to do if it does dry out, what the best way to get it back to hold
the water?

Thanks

1. Plant out because weeds will grow there otherwise
2. Mulch. It will help retain any moisture
