Tomato plants can grow in sand, but they may require additional nutrients and water since sand does not retain moisture or provide much organic matter. Adding compost or peat moss to the sand can improve its water retention and nutrient content, allowing tomato plants to thrive. Alternatively, growing tomatoes in a raised bed or container with a mix of sand and soil can also be successful.

Will pea plants grow in sand?

Pea plants can grow in sandy soil, but they may not thrive as well as they would in soil with better water retention and nutrient content. Sandy soil drains quickly and can lead to moisture stress for pea plants if not watered regularly. Adding organic matter or compost to sandy soil can help improve its water and nutrient holding capacity, which would benefit pea plant growth.


Why doesn't a seed grow in sand?

Plants can grow in sandy soil but there are a few factors that can make it more difficult. Sand particles are large and leave large pore spaces in between the sand grains. If the sand is too loose it will be very difficult for the plant roots to hold in place. That is why you rarely see vegetation on the extremely loose sands of the beach. Another reason sandy soil impedes plant growth is because of the rate of water infiltration and available water capacity. Basically what this means is that the pore spaces in between sand grains are so large that rainwater and other water runoff simply drains straight through the sand deep into the ground and is beyond the reach of the roots. As we all know, plants must have water to survive. A third reason that plants have a hard time growing in sandy soil is due to the reactivity of large sand grains. Plants get their nutrients from the soil and sand grains do not have the ability, for reasons I will not get into, to hold those nutrients in place.
