Sandy Soil

I live in Tacoma, WA and have an area I’d like to plant some small azaleas in; however, the soil there is very sandy. What are some short term solutions to making the soil suitable for the azaleas?

This article will help with amending your soil: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/amending-sandy-soil.htm ^[1] These shrubs prefer well-draining, acidic soil. You may want to test the soil pH. You can do this yourself with a soil testing kit or through your local extension office. Then you can treat as needed.
