Sand dries up the soil and slowly decomposes it into silt. ........ Sandy soil has better drainage than clay soil, but less water-retention. Often gardeners with sandy soil will have to add an organic additive like compost to their garden beds, this helps to improve moisture retention and aids the roots in having consistent access to nutrients. Sand is sometimes added to very rich, heavy soils to aid in drainage.
