Look for plants that prefer a well drained soil, consider using mainly
indigenous and water wise plants. Plant species that are suited to
your existing climate and soil conditions are preferable, this way

you have a insatiable desire for a tropical garden in the desert.
You can improve sandy soil with compost - mix 2 parts mature
compost and 1 part clay soil, as well as slow release organic fertilizer
and use in the ratio prescribed by the manufacturer
