Talk to your local Land-Grant University Extension Office. Farming, overall, isn't well published as a discipline online, and you will find that asking other farmers will give you a lot of information with absolutely no data to back it up, because they are all just as cocksure as random maker-youtubers while being just as competent. Look up the Master Gardener program documents from those offices for quick handguides to get up to speed on the basics, and Botany for Gardeners if you want the next level up–and then throw them all away and get told by the local IFA that you can do anything with the right dump of cash and petrochemical salve that will surely not ratfuck you in soil fertility twenty years down the road.
I love that nothing happened in this video
Throw some concrete down and start an aquaponics farm instead lmao
I need a lot more videos about this on the double hahahaha
grow native plants!
80% milf sand
I recommend the dustups channel. That guy is literally growing stuff in the Texan desert.
It's hard, but it's possible. I believe in you!
You may want to look into Syntropic Farming to restore your degraded soil

Hi will! Floridian farmers grow all sorts of stuff and they have Candler soil which is literally like 98% sand. It’s tricky because any excess fertilizer you put down is going straight through your root zone when it rains. Small, targeted applications are the way to get around this. Look into slow release chelated fertilizers for your micronutrients. Root crops tend to do well in sandy soils since they aren’t restrained by tightly packed silt and clay particles. You’ll need to incorporate organic matter since it’s got a high CEC to retain positively charged nutrients. UF IFAS is the Florida land grant university and they’ve got a ton of info on growing in sandy soils. I’m not sure what the university of California’s site is for this kind of thing but it might be on your county’s cooperative extension site.
Dump compost and coarse organic matter/ mulch and even clay and it'll improve! (From a farmer)
Your sister has a horse, right? The barn she boards at is probably desperate to get rid of their compost pile. My horses provide a lot of compost with bi weekly pile turns and it’s helped our soil improve
Your soil is shit It basically needs every major Soil additive. you definitely need to work on the water situation and definitely need to clear the ground and figure out irrigation personally I am a fan of flood irrigation, but you could also do drip irrigation.you need to go to a farm auction. By the way, this is coming from a farmer.
Please fix or get rid of the excavator
The easy way to go about it would be to setup some big raised beds with compost and start planting… It could even open a door for you to build some computer to automate some ground moisture and stuff…
If you <3 is set into a farm like plantation, I would say a bit of tiling, rows of compost and set vegetables on top of them. Stuff like lettuce grows in 1 month and it is super easy to get working…
I see a bunch of good ideas, but they'll take years. Maybe create a big greenhouse, utilize other spaces for creating mulch and/or compost, maybe get some chicken while youre at it and let them roam the parts that are bad for a while, and collect their dookie (free fertilizer).
Sell the sand.
First step is to grow as much cover crop as you can, get roots into the ground. Get woods chips. Sawdust is better. Spread it everywhere. Keep the soil covered at all costs. Till in the cover crops, the first few years only, to improve organic matter. Get as much manure and compost as feasibly possible. Make mounds and grow squash, they will thrive basically anywhere.
Grow pumpkins, grow butternut squash, grow delicata
Farm white elephants they do good in hot sandy areas
Will, do you need a springtooth for tilling up your soil?
George Washington Carver solved all your soil problems 100 years ago.
Willy you need organic matter, you can try pooping on your front lawn that will help
