Hey /out/laws, I'm tired of sand in my garden and i don't want to purchase fertile soil. Is there a way to transform the useless sand in fertile soil?

The problem with sand is that it won't hold any water.
The solution is to mix it with clay.
Obtaining clay in large amounts could be difficult, though.

I tried the compost thing and now it smells like mud with piss. Is this supposed to happen? Also, i was making the compost-sand mix inside a plastic bag sealed with water inside. Am i doing right?

Hey OP,

I explained my soilmending in these posts in another related thread this morning.
As you can see in one of the pictures my soil is pretty sandy as well, and it turned out fine.
