A good garden needs to be in soil that is a little lighter. Most garden plant's root systems can't penetrate hard soil well. If your garden is in good heavy black soil the sand will help you out. Compost will help it out more than the sand will. Years ago our garden was in low black soil. Good for holding moisture but not good for a garden. Now it's on light sandier soil. Good for the garden plants but if we don't have regular rains I have to water it. It's about 20x50 feet. A couple of years ago I had some extra black soil so I dumped the black on the garden and moldboarded it in. That helped the water holding ability somewhat but the soil was a little tight. Then last fall I spread about a ton (estimated) of composted cattle manure on it and moldboarded it in. This summer the soil is about as soft and loose as I would want it and boy does it grow potatoes! I was joking to a neighbor the spuds will be so big I will have to pick them up one by one. LOL
