Thanks, you guys for adding that. I was thinking of stuff already in the soil, er... sand. Never thought of biochar.... I know that compost and such are gone in about 6 months and you are left with sand, but I add them before planting, anyway. Thus the need for lots of stuff on top.
Kat, if you find a way to grow decent tomatoes down here, I would sure like to hear it. MAYBE in containers? Great tomatoes were so easy in Illinois. Even bad ones are near impossible here.
