Wow Dave,
nicely done, your yard is going to be a paradise....well more than it already is on TCI. :)  That is some serous compost, it should really help out the sandy soil as it breaks down.

Good luck!

Thanks Ethan. It is tough going there with the drought, wind and high ph soil... Hurricanes, salt spray, roaming hungry cattle...  Doesn't always seem like a tropical fruit paradise but with your help, stuff is starting to establish:). Best,   Dave
