Greetings from the alt.solar.photovoltaic group!
I have a cabin in northern Michigan which has very sandy soil. Grass is a wasted effort as are a lot of other plants. My veggies are going to be using square foot planters. But, I want to try growing some flowers; daisy, marigold, zinnia and whatnot.
Here's what I'm thinking to get the ground to hold moisture (I'm there once week or every two weeks): dig out the planting area and line the bottom of it with weed block or fiberglass window screening, then fill it with peat/soil mixture. My planting area will be about 10 foot by 10 foot.
