Whether you're dealing with a sandy soil or a clay, the answer is the same. Organic matter will help sandy soils hold moisture and nutrients when they might otherwise leach out of the root zone. That same organic matter will help loosen tight clay soils so water and fertilizer can penetrate more readily. Best sources of organic matter include brown Canadian peat moss, rotted manure, compost and shredded bark mulch.

Example: after losing, bet decreased from 5%-8% to 4%, to 2%, to 1% maximum loss per day 4%-10% maximum loss per month 10-25% If your chance of a loss is L, then your chance of 10 consecutive losses is L10. For L = .5, your chance is about one in a thousand. You might simulate your performance versus various bet sizing strategies. Your 5-8% might be a bit on the high side, by industry standards, maybe not so high by the standards of John Warne "Bet-a-Million" Gates (1855-1910). J.W. See similar questions...

The deepest cores taken in the area indicate that the soil is composed of silty sands, clays, and gravels which extend down at least 20 m (70 ft). Any rocks would be found at least 7000 ft down since all the material found here is a result of relatively recent sedimentation (on the order of tens of thousands of years ago). An oil well from 1945 drilled to 10,000 feet in Cape Hatteras and found no sign of bed rock. See similar questions...
