Very sandy silt, like talcum powder. It's actually hard to wet the soil, the water just runs off. I don't know how many tons of organic material I've put into the soil to get a garden.

The new area, which will be for tobacco next year, hasn't had all of the treatment yet.

In our old house we were sitting on a big sand hill. Thank goodness for compost. We put all kitchen scraps, including coffee grounds, coffee, unbleached coffee filters, lobster shells, clam shells, mussel shells, shrimp shells, leaves, any healthy waste from the garden, mown grass, salt marsh hay that was used as mulch during the winter, rabbit droppings..I could probably go on, but.. :)
