I will still be adding amendments to the soil -- my compost; Black Cow and mushroom compost where needed. But all the articles I've read on adding non-clumping kitty litter to sandy soil are positive. You only sprinkle a little around the flower beds. It does help retain moisture and it does have some nutrients (potassium). I did do the front flower beds and will do the back later this weekend. I'm being very frugal with it as I don't want a sticky mess, like you said. We've had some rain since I sprinkled some and it looks fine.

The problem with adding amendments is that after a year of putting your good compost (you've diligently work on) in the garden - you can't find it anymore. It's just decomposed and you're back with sand - again ! Actually, I think I need to get back to making some more bio-char. I know that works.
