I want to put some creeping thyme and Sagina s.(Scotch Moss) along the edge
between the deck and the patio I put in last summer, where there is a wide
area of white sand about 4-6" thick. My concern is that the sand is too
deep for the plants roots to get down to the soil quickly. I'm thinking of
either mixing in some time-released fertilizer with the sand when I plant or
skimming out the sand, partially back filling with some compost/soil then
planting and adding the sand to the top. Any suggestions/experiences as to
which solution would work best? The area is south facing and gets full sun
until mid afternoon.
