The sandy soil is surprisingly easy to dig, something i've never experienced. I'm used to working clay soil that you would need to soak with water overnight in order to dig even a small hole. My area has a deep layer of "Hallandale sand". I feel fortunate I don't need to hire somebody with an auger to drill through limestone.
